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
.....
