Little Snakes

[00:04.05] Oh, what a typical story
[00:07.74] Contested site, the Americas
[00:10.70] With treaties broken, the same sad token
[00:14.99] Torn and repaired it with paraffin
[00:19.12] Disembodied heads
[00:22.88] Disembowel the Earth
[00:25.95] A monument of our arrogance
[00:29.22] A monolith of our bloated bunk, self-worth
[00:33.01] Disembodied heads
[00:36.52] Disembowel the Earth
[00:39.99] We marred the land with our leaders
[00:43.57] Eight eyes to watch "little snakes"
[00:46.85] Regal expressions for Native repression
[00:50.24] At rest, frozen on their face
[00:55.01] We can make an exception and they can make some concessions
[00:58.55] Because there's gold in the Black Hills
[01:02.20] Armed to the teeth, we can make an example of every one of these savages
[01:08.28] Because the rights they have, we gave to them
[01:11.87] And we can take 'em away without giving a damn
[01:16.08] Ain't that exactly how it is?
[01:22.74] And that's exactly what they did
[01:29.78] Oh, you don't think it's right?
[01:36.52] Well, that's exactly what they did
[01:43.75] What an impressive display
[01:47.26] Of complete dissolution
[01:50.81] Two fucking faces owned slaves
[01:54.45] One supplied the largest Aboriginal execution
[01:58.55] Once somebody said
[02:02.03] "I don't believe the only good Indians are dead
[02:07.48] But I believe that nine out of ten are"
[02:12.74] And so they took his head
[02:15.99] And carved his eyes into the Native mountainside
[02:19.32] We can make an exception and they can make some concessions
[02:22.84] Because there's gold in the Black Hills
[02:26.18] Armed to the teeth, we can make an example of every one of these savages
[02:31.65] Because the rights they have, we gave to them
[02:35.63] And we can take 'em away without giving a damn
[02:39.13] Oh yes, the rights they have, we gave to them
[02:42.69] And we can take 'em, take 'em, take 'em
[02:45.65] Take 'em away
[02:48.09]
[02:56.55] Forgotten in the shadows cast by celebrated busts
[03:01.37] Lies the site depicting history's ignoble blood lust
[03:04.92] There might be flowers in the windows, but only ashes in the streets
[03:12.01] Impoverished and broken sings the songs of their defeat
[03:16.51] But it's your vacation, your holiday
[03:21.34] It's a reminder every story gets sculpted and decayed
[03:26.76] It's your vacation, your holiday
[03:31.92] You might feel cheated by its modesty
[03:35.02] Pack the car and drive away
[03:37.63] It's your vacation, your holiday
[03:43.01] It's your vacation, your holiday
[03:48.17] It's your vacation, your holiday
[03:53.72] It's your vacation, your holiday
[03:57.63] About face
[04:00.33] Enjoy the ride
[04:03.08] There's a different version of history carved in the mountain side
[04:07.85] Your mind's made up
[04:10.59] Your hands are tied
[04:13.34] But colonialism by all definitions is the father of the genocide
[04:18.79]
