Write these words back down inside We have burned their villages and all the people in them died And we adopt their customs and everything they say we steal All the dreams they had we kill Still we all sleep sound tonight Is this what you wanted to hear? We erased all their images and dance And replaced them with borders and flags
At the top of this timeline you'll remember This is the lipstick on the collar and in my own life I've seen it in the mirror sometimes at the cost of others hopes
So. Write these words back down inside That's where you need it the most and without conviction of heart you will never feel it all Yeah - We all dance to the same beat when we we're marching Yeah- The TV tells us everythign we need to know And this scene is painting in all the fashions of the moment and history is all the same
Everything you say you stole Every dream you dreamt you bought But I'm still here and we are all guilty
The correction is the last stanza second line....dreamt not dream
