[00:00.00]My Country 'tis of Thy People You're Dying - Buffy Sainte-Marie
[00:02.15]Now that your big eyes have finally opened
[00:08.85]Now that you're wondering how must they feel
[00:13.21]Meaning them that you've chased across
[00:15.71]America's movie screens
[00:19.40]Now that you're wondering how can it be real
[00:24.97]That the ones you've called colorful noble and proud
[00:30.16]In your school propaganda they starve in their splendor
[00:38.51]You've asked for my comment I simply will render
[00:45.32]My country 'tis of thy people you're dying
[00:57.80]Now that the long houses breed superstition
[01:03.80]You force us to send our toddlers away
[01:08.93]To your schools where they're taught
[01:11.74]To despise their traditions
[01:15.24]You forbid them their languages then further say
[01:20.62]That American history really began
[01:25.62]When Columbus set sail out of Europe
[01:30.18]Then stress that the nation of leeches that conquered this land
[01:36.86]Are the biggest and bravest and boldest and best
[01:42.36]And yet where in your history books is the tale
[01:47.55]Of the genocide basic to this country's birth
[01:53.36]Of the preachers who lied how the Bill of Rights failed
[01:58.92]How a nation of patriots returned to their earth
[02:03.99]And where will it tell of the Liberty Bell
[02:08.58]
[02:09.25]As it rang with a thud o'er Kinzua mud
[02:14.75]And of brave Uncle Sam in Alaska this year
[02:20.62]My country 'tis of thy people you're dying
[02:30.57]Hear how the bargain was made for the West
[02:35.75]With her shivering children in zero degrees
[02:42.68]Blankets for your land so the treaties attest
[02:47.88]Oh well blankets for land is a bargain indeed
[02:54.19]And the blankets were those Uncle Sam had collected
[03:00.14]From smallpox-diseased dying soldiers that day
[03:05.43]And the tribes were wiped out and the history books censored
[03:11.37]A hundred years of your statesmen have felt
[03:14.68]It's better this way
[03:16.99]And yet a few of the conquered have somehow survived
[03:23.24]Their blood runs the redder though genes have paled
[03:28.45]From the Gran Canyon's caverns to craven sad hills
[03:34.39]The wounded the losers the robbed sing their tale
[03:39.57]From Los Angeles County to upstate New York
[03:45.58]The white nation fattens while others grow lean
[03:50.79]Oh the tricked and evicted they know what I mean
[03:56.67]My country 'tis of thy people you're dying
[04:05.54]The past it just crumbled the future just threatens
[04:11.42]Our life blood shut up in your chemical tanks
[04:16.61]And now here you come bill of sale in your hands
[04:22.42]And surprise in your eyes that we're lacking in thanks
[04:28.48]For the blessings of civilization you've brought us
[04:34.37]The lessons you've taught us the ruin you've wrought us
[04:39.95]Oh see what our trust in America's brought us
[04:45.85]My country 'tis of thy people you're dying
[04:55.99]Now that the pride of the sires receives charity
[05:03.37]Now that we're harmless and safe behind laws
[05:10.43]Now that my life's to be known as your 'Heritage'
[05:17.99]Now that even the graves have been robbed
[05:24.93]Now that our own chosen way is a novelty
[05:31.80]Hands on our hearts we salute you your victory
[05:37.80]
[05:38.51]Choke on your blue white and scarlet hypocrisy
[05:45.14]Pitying the blindness that you've never seen
[05:50.96]That the eagles of war whose wings lent you glory
[05:57.34]They were never no more than carrion crows
[06:03.64]Pushed the wrens from their nest
[06:06.65]Stole their eggs changed their story
[06:10.09]The mockingbird sings it it's all that he knows
[06:15.77]"Ah what can I do " say a powerless few
[06:21.54]With a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye
[06:27.92]Can't you see that their poverty's profiting you
[06:35.67]My country 'tis of thy people you're dying
