The Broadways - Everything I Ever Wanted To Know About Genocide I Learned In The Third Grade lyrics

Third graders holding hands Indians And Pilgrims celebrating newfound lands They tried to teach me that at school Make the white man look superior, it's always been their rule Now I can't believe we celebrate Thanksgiving as a holiday of unity and peace If I had my way, we'd all dress in black And Daddy would serve up the white meat 'Cause genocide is nothing to celebrate, extinction doesn't deserve a parade And we perpetuate these lies with the turkeys that we buy I tried explaining to my mom but she's too afraid to admit to herself That her race is a k**ing machine Take a look around your town and who do you see? The Native American is surprisingly absent in his own indigenous land Do you want to know why? It's 'cause we k**ed them all It's not that hard to understand, yeah So I go to college and you know what I learned? That 80 million people were k**ed by my grandpa, Your grandpa and all of their friends They bleached out our continent but that's not the end The last full blooded Aborigine died a century ago If it's possible there's a place in the southern hemisphere With a history even worse than our own No one finds it peculiar That a tropical island is full of people just like you and me But Australia's a piece of sh** floating in the Pacific Buoyed by the blood of the Aborigine. Buoyed by the blood of the Aborigine.
