SEE HOW YOU ARE
Equinox 2004
(One year anniversary of
US invasion of Iraq)
I’d like to take the
time to Thank You___For showin’ me just what NOT to do.
‘Cause over here, we’re
kinda Simple___We don’t take more than we use.
You think that yer so
righteous__That you will save me from myself.
But I ain’t buying what
yer sellin’__Yer Church of Concentrated Wealth.
I wouldn’t be so
quick to judge me___I just might see more than you do.
Yer runnin’ round
with yer Pants Down___The whole World is watchin’ you.
SEE HOW
YOU ARE____SEE HOW YOU ARE.
Cedar singing for
his supper, Knownothing Creek, 2004
You got the high tech
Bombs and Power__You want the Water and the Land.
Control the flow of
Money___ Right into yer greedy hands.
You dump yer friends in
the Landfill__When they don’t do just what you say.
Then you wonder why yer
Al-lies__Roll their eyes and walk away.
SEE HOW
YOU ARE___SEE HOW YOU ARE.
Your food is made out
of Cardboard__with altered Vitamins in the glue.
Might as well eat yer
paper money___for all the good it’s doin’ you.
But over here we’re
kinda Hungry__Grubbin’ out roots for ever-more.
You get yer food in
little boxes__Cans and bottles from a store.
SEE HOW
YOU ARE___SEE HOW YOU ARE.
Yes, over here- we’re
till Walking___yer burnin’ up more than your share.
Corporations need their
Profits___There goes the Water and the Air.
Recycled
Politicans__Point out everything that’s Wrong.
They vote in the
Corporations___sell the people for a song.
SEE
HOW YOU ARE___SEE HOW YOU ARE.
I wouldn’t be too quick
to judge me__I just might see more than you do.
Yer runnin’ round with
yer pants down.___The whole world’s watching you.
You think that yer so
Righteous___That you will save me from myself.
But I ain’t buyin’ what
yer selling___Yer Church of Concentrated Wealth.
SEE
HOW YOUR ARE____SEE HOW YOU ARE
