No country built on stolen land
On the backs of slaves
Could ever be great.
That flimflam man
With the empty hand
Had a master plan,
And you took the bait.
That fascist brawl
With the animals
At the Capitol
Is making me hate.
No country built on stolen land
Under his command
Could ever be free.
That virus belching
Racist rant
Of a President,
It terrifies me.
How many die
In the countryside
'Til it qualifies
As genocide?
How many more
Would be lost before
He was out the door?
How many died?
(I wanna cry.)
No country built on stolen land
On the backs of slaves
Will ever find peace.
That ugly stain
Will still remain
Like a prisoner chain.
No chance for release.
As the future plans
What the world demands
It is in your hands
To kill the beast.
No country built on stolen land
On the backs of slaves
