Monkey See, Monkey Forced to Do

I was born in a country

We call our own

We all live here in peace

Where we're left alone

......

But my people want more

More fortune more land

So we'll come to take yours

And we'll call it OUR land

.....

We say "Do this and "Do that"

Tell you-you belong to us

Say you must do what we do

And make you mistrust

......

"Speak in our language!"

We'll yell in your face

Spit at your kids

And put you in your place

.......

We'll take away your customs,

Tell you we're better than you are

Make you work for us

Then we'll push you all too far

......

We'll say "it's our God given right

To do the things we do"

But don't believe that those different from us

Have those very same rights too

.....
