There are degrees of amnesia, ways to forget | |
Ways to remember all the good that you've done | |
And if you can't get a witness remind yourselves | |
Nobody's just perfectly good all the time | |
And if you killed all those redskins long, long ago | |
Well, they'd all be dead now anyway, anyway | |
Don't let that ghost disconcert you – the lord will provide | |
A nice little headstone for the brave Cherokee | |
So let's have no reservations, let's have a clean sweep | |
Clearing the way for the land of the free | |
Let's hear it for civilisation once more | |
Build your aryan empire in peace |
There are degrees of amnesia, ways to forget | |
Ways to remember all the good that you' ve done | |
And if you can' t get a witness remind yourselves | |
Nobody' s just perfectly good all the time | |
And if you killed all those redskins long, long ago | |
Well, they' d all be dead now anyway, anyway | |
Don' t let that ghost disconcert you the lord will provide | |
A nice little headstone for the brave Cherokee | |
So let' s have no reservations, let' s have a clean sweep | |
Clearing the way for the land of the free | |
Let' s hear it for civilisation once more | |
Build your aryan empire in peace |
