MDC - Founding Fathers lyrics

rate me

Are the founding fathers terrorists or freedom fighters?

And Paul Revere the famous night rider

And Andrew Jackson the Indian killer

A movie of his life could be a nightmare thriller

Hand out blankets with disease

Our God is so much better we believe

Genocidal times, get on your knees

We are the good guys or so we perceive

So back then they rebelled against the king

The U.S. in Iraq is really the same thing

All the radio hate disc jockey's rage

Screaming we should blast them back to the Stone Age

Just like John Wayne running up the hill

See how many Vietnamese he could kill

Destroy the village to save it is part of the plan

Just as letting African's die of AIDS is to steal their land

"Mommy, was George Washington a terrorist?"

"No honey, he was a great man, the first president and an important slave owner."

"Mommy what are doing in Iraq?" "Honey we are gonna' teach these people how to be free."

We prop up the Saudi's corrupt regime

Denied people's rights and justice so it seems

All done for convenience and all that black gold

Send our boys off to protect our freedoms or so they're told

"Didn't they lynch black folks in the South

and set them on fire and hang them from trees just like they did those men in Iraq?"

"Oh honey, that was so long ago. We don't think about things like that."

All this hypocrisy makes us sick as hell

Our murderous government think they're so swell

Capture people deny them their rights

Abuse them from Guantanamo to the Golan Heights

Are the founding fathers terrorists or freedom fighters?

Take land from the Indians in trade for a little cider

Remember the only good Indian is one that is dead

How would it feel for it to be us instead?
