Awakening Americans      We watch movies of murder and we censor the breast    Give thanks for the murders of Chris Columbus    We kill our own and we vote for the man    The lesser of evils and us starring in the role of victim      I wonder how we change if we can in this land   I wonder how many mountains we'd move if we band together   Us priveleged Americans      We pass our revisions onto the next generation   We kneel to the gods of corporation   We eat when we're full and we hord all the rest   With our hands on remotes we say "Yes, we're the best!"      I wonder what we'd change in this land cause we can    Even with western centricity this rampant    Us ugly Americans      Tied are not my hands   But see strangers and lineaments    as part of me; as you    For me this awakening Canadian      We teach our offspring for themselves; every man   We shrug our shoulders and create yet another "ism"    We dissuade our young from using their imagination   We avert our eyes from this    Our very own manifestation      I wonder what will change in this land, cause we can   I wonder how many mouths we'd fill if we band together   Us awakening Americans       on his face   he blew the others   out of the water   he said and was glad   they were disgraced   all these symptoms symptoms are simpler 'cause   i've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing we are   separate we are separate   disconnected in this unity      he stole what he could   he only had minutes before he'd be caught   he justified every penny taken by blaming the gap between the rich and rich not   all these symptoms symptoms are simpler 'cause    i've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing we are    separate we are separate    disconnected in this unity   separate we are separate   disconnected in this unity
