Derek Webb - Becoming A Slave lyrics
[Derek Webb - Becoming A Slave lyrics]
I admire these men brave and beautiful
Grabbing the blade from all the wrong sides
Like children
They bring skins and smoke
We bring shackles and guns
We’ll trade with them and then
We’ll take them home
It’s simple it’s so simple
They’re not like us
Becoming a slave is easier than you think
There’s always a price to pay
It’s gotta hit somebody’s back trust me
New worlds don’t just build themselves
Progress has more than one face
Evil isn’t always it'self
There’s nothing you can
Change without changing everything else
It’s simple it’s so simple
If they’re not like us
Becoming a slave is easier than you think
Talk from every head a product in every word
It’s under out feet and you
Know it’s over our heads
And everyone’s telling the truth
In languages that nobody speaks
Till you listen close and
Hear what you believe television teleaction
Tell me what you want
Grabbing the blade from all the wrong sides
Like children
They bring skins and smoke
We bring shackles and guns
We’ll trade with them and then
We’ll take them home
It’s simple it’s so simple
They’re not like us
Becoming a slave is easier than you think
There’s always a price to pay
It’s gotta hit somebody’s back trust me
New worlds don’t just build themselves
Progress has more than one face
Evil isn’t always it'self
There’s nothing you can
Change without changing everything else
It’s simple it’s so simple
If they’re not like us
Becoming a slave is easier than you think
Talk from every head a product in every word
It’s under out feet and you
Know it’s over our heads
And everyone’s telling the truth
In languages that nobody speaks
Till you listen close and
Hear what you believe television teleaction
Tell me what you want
