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
