lyrics

YOU MET THE CHIEF UPON THE CREEK
YOU BOUGHT HIS LAND FOR A DOLLAR AND A DRINK
IT WAS NOT ENOUGH WITH YOUR COUSINS COMING IN
THESE GRIM PILGRIMS JUST PUSHED'EM TO THE BRINK
OOOHH THEY PUSHED'EM TO THE BRINK YES THEY DID

YOU WANNA LEARN YOUR HISTORY
BEFORE YOU GO TEACHING THE WORLD HOW IT SHOULD BE
NOW, CROSSING THE NATIVES? WHAT DID YOU EARN?
BOMBING IRAK TWICE...WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?
YOU LEADING THE WORLD IS A NO GO
IT'S JUST AS FUNNY AS BELGIUM IN CONGO
CROSSING THE NATIVES... WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?
WILL YOU EVER LEARN?

YOU STOLE A LAND FROM A PEOPLE
THEN STOLE A PEOPLE FROM A LAND
TO WATCH IT BUILD UP IN FRONT OF YOU
YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO LIVE IT DOWN EVER SINCE

MAKING YOURSELF GREAT AGAIN
MAKING YOURSELF HATE AGAIN
MAKING YOURSELF GREAT AGAIN
MAKING YOURSELF HATE AGAIN
GREAT AGAIN
HATE AGAIN

OK YOU HAD YOUR MOMENTS ON THE WAY
L.A MOVIES ARE GRAND WE'LL LET THE MUSIC PLAY...

CROSSING THE NATIVES...WHAT DID YOU EARN?
BOMBING IRAK TWICE..WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?
WILL YOU EVER LEARN?

Their mixing engineer says they're "clearly obsessional but very friendly". ... more
