Lyrics

Democracy offers the possibility of infinite corruption

Leaders promising benefits to the electorate

If they are only Returned to power again

It takes a great deal of discipline

Institutional building

And tradition to make a democracy incorruptible

Of course, No democracy isn’t


It was Thanksgiving

Then a thanks for giving us all the banks and rivers

We planted a flag like it was just discovered

Cause these animals are savages we put em in cages

That we called reservations

After signing some treaties

With disappearing ink, knowledge of the water so we put em in the sink

We had an opportunity for peace in a community but viewed em as the primitive limited missing link

Little did we know that they practiced a cultured that would keep us far from the brink

Force their kids to go to school is what we chose

Now their native tongue and ways are broken

Their fathers can't understand words that spoke

Unable to pass down traditions or lessons

Each generation is more disconnected

And westerners said that they'd keep them protected

But all that they’re left with is


We have given ourselves over so completely to selfishness


Outta of the food chain but in the loop o’ liability with or without abilities to hold a Bible or rifle

Just another gear in the cycle

World wide thinking needed for planetary survival

Water protectors, they were condemned

Think about it, it doesn't make sense because (doesn’t make sense)

Resources exist without us

We cannot exist without them

Everything's bought in a store (bought in a store)

And based off supply and demand (‘ply and demand)

It's like we forgot at the core

That we still live off of the land

Soils are turning to sand, oil has already peaked

But inside the dirt and ourselves we dig deep

To find the last Droplets of hope and relief and a moment of a ease

But the moment has passed cause we're nearing demise

Each day we're looking for things we can't find

Suppressing effects and ignoring the signs

H2O tainted we pay it no mind even though that's precisely what fuels humankind

Stab mother nature we do it for wealth

We need to wake up and accept the fact that by destroying the Earth we're destroying ourselves

Disgraced, displaced, exiled...

We think that we're on top, so we're going down
