We've come across great waters
and this land we do proclaim
to be our lands forever more
through eminent domain.
At first, we'll let you co-exist
like the keepers of a zoo
it's best for us, that you don't know
what we have in store for you.
We'll tell you that we come in peace
that there's room for all to live
but that promise will soon run out
like water through a sieve.
At first our numbers will be few
but many more will come,
and when we have all gathered
to our wants you will succumb.
You of course, will struggle
you'll put up quite a fight,
but we'll stand firm, for after all
our God give us the right.
We'll rape the land for profits
kill off all your food
we'll herd you up like cattle
for a life of servitude.
And when the dust is settled
and all is said and done
we'll give you back your arrows
but we'll just keep the guns.
For after all, we're civilized
unlike you heathen breeds
you no longer have a home
but you got that string of beads.
We'll crush your native customs out
in just a few short years
we'll walk the path of our destiny
while you trudge your trail of tears.
