[Cursive - Discovering America lyrics]
Discovering America discovering America
With Plymouth Rock and the auction block
We were stirring up the melting pot
History is what we're told
Wounded Knee, the Alamo
Symbols of our sweat and toil
The blood was spilled, they claimed the soil
It was a new frontier
A chance to disappear in America so innocent
Such feisty, fiery natives
Eloping in America eloping in America
A virgin world yet to be plucked
We moved in fast to snatch her up
The land was uninhabited
But close enough to establish it for Amеrica
The promised land
Though we brokе a few to break her in
"This land is our land" was our declaration
We hold these truths to be self-evident
Inalienable rights for the
First illegal aliens
It's our life, it's our liberty
Now let's get some happiness
Killing in America! Killing in America!
What seemed a little crude at first
Became second nature by the third
Rape the women, drown the babes
Take the village in the name of America
"Home of the brave"
What the fuck was that supposed to mean?
Living in America living in America
Driving in my Cherokee
To see the Redskins scalp the Chiefs
I found this tomahawk at an antique mall
So I stole it hung it in my room
I wonder who my tomahawk belonged to
With Plymouth Rock and the auction block
We were stirring up the melting pot
History is what we're told
Wounded Knee, the Alamo
Symbols of our sweat and toil
The blood was spilled, they claimed the soil
It was a new frontier
A chance to disappear in America so innocent
Such feisty, fiery natives
Eloping in America eloping in America
A virgin world yet to be plucked
We moved in fast to snatch her up
The land was uninhabited
But close enough to establish it for Amеrica
The promised land
Though we brokе a few to break her in
"This land is our land" was our declaration
We hold these truths to be self-evident
Inalienable rights for the
First illegal aliens
It's our life, it's our liberty
Now let's get some happiness
Killing in America! Killing in America!
What seemed a little crude at first
Became second nature by the third
Rape the women, drown the babes
Take the village in the name of America
"Home of the brave"
What the fuck was that supposed to mean?
Living in America living in America
Driving in my Cherokee
To see the Redskins scalp the Chiefs
I found this tomahawk at an antique mall
So I stole it hung it in my room
I wonder who my tomahawk belonged to
