lyrics

500 years of indigenocide
Injustice has never been justified
women and children have bled and cried and died
and lived on barren earth besides
the masses sit hypnotized
quelled by passive disinterest
and the media are just corporate spies that hide behind
facades of free speech - telling us what to decide
I say : find your own way : your own truth
do not submit to those that will tell you lies to keep you pacified

Hey - Yeah - Hey - Yeah
Without Reservation
We need to speak for all people, Yeah

And everybody knows it's true
But nobody knows what to do
Give them back land they deserve
or keep them chattled where we've reserved them to live
Their home is their cemetary -
Where we would not want to be
In the rolling prairie South Dakota sea
Void of trees and blistering snow past knees
While we live comfortably -
Living in the lap of luxury
Eating everything that we can stuff
Into our bellies to keep us safe and tough
(or weak - it depends upon the way you see)
Gluttony - is a sin, someone once told me
It's a common enemy. It's a common enemy.

Chorus

It's the same around this globe of Earth
Genocide for sake of nationalist turf
Palestinians living as fenced in rats
Corrupt leaders falling flat
Politicians are all the same
Playing proclamation games
Chinese, Saudi, Chilean and British
Bureaucracy makes me twitch
And behind the barrel of every gun
Is someone's daughter, someone's son
But never a politician
On violence this country was begun
So do we really deserve to point the gun
After September 11th 2001
Should we not consider repercussions?
Can we really feel justified
Because 3000 in one city died?
The country's shock will only last
As long as the networks keep us entranced

Chorus

And everyone is angry. There are a million truths
And everybody knows what to do -
But nobody can agree, cuz nobody can see
anything, anything but themselves.
