The ghosts

Remember freshly their slaughter

The empire of torture

Arrived armed on boats, iron girded

They came to take to conquer

To disrupt, break apart and destroy

They say we didn’t understand back then

How the whole world is connected

Had to turn it all to shit b4 we could see it

Maybe the natives knew

But who can understand their gibberish?

Learn to speak English if you still have a tongue.

Learn to see the world from our perspective if we’ve left you with eyes.

Get hip to authoritarian rule, goose step back in line

Cuz our democracy is hypocrisy

Excluding certain members

Having massive numbers

For you we have prisons and poverty

Open spaces in the army

A mind numbing bureaucracy

A mountain of paperwork to complete

If you’d like to eat

You’ll have to stand in line 1 week
