Alternative Tentacles Records - Banned From The Land Lyrics

[Verse]
I rewind to the time of the native people
That were banned from the land
By the church and the steeple
Pushed to the west by gun, germ, and lie
Too many broken pacts left the natives to die
Below the barren land of the reservation
The earth is still screaming angry cries of war
Insulting token gestures, piddly reparations
Keep most segregated, isolated, drunk, and poor

[Chorus]
To quell your hunger
They feed you lies
The rotted meat
Maggots and flies
And for your thirst
The fire drink
And all your graves
Buried to sink

[Bridge]
You welcomed them with open arms
And how'd they repay you?
Sickness, fears, a Trail of Tears
No apologies issued
Swindled out of everything
That you've ever owned
But given back the waste
And forced to call it a home
The long Trail of Tears
Is a trail of blood, too
So, thanks for the giving
Of the smallpox flu
The genocide of these tribes
And their weakened nations
Pro sports team logos are
A grave desecration

[Outro]
Take back the stolen land
Take back the stolen land
