American History 101 -- Polkapocalyptic

This is a VERY rough demo recording of a song called American History 101. Lyrics are below. I will eventually get around to recording a real, polished version of this.

Lyrics:




All that we own grows mold
We never listened when we were told
As youngsters we would all grow old
Pockets full of coal or full of gold

Lose important lessons first
For blood, power and cash, the thirst
Was bad to start, and now it's worse




Our leadership, turned perverse

5 minutes a day, hey take a pill
We need the crude, forget the spill
In glory's name we fight to kill
Fresh pie on the windowsill

So did Washington, you see
Loyalists, Indians, taxes, tea
Textbooks forget misery
At great cost are we semi-free

To warlords do we give money,
As they readily agree
To buy kind guns only
Despite lessons of history

Who really holds the key?
We're too dumb or mad to see
Behind the grinning nominee
The same old weeping willow tree

The mission is democracy
So we're told, but we can see
We're not setting people free
Looking for sites for refineries

Loading into APCs
We're here for your ivory
You shall live by our decree
Or be crushed just like a flea

Demonstrate superiority
1492 or 2003
The arrogance that our tree
Should bloom in everyone's country

This time I am on my knees
Are we too late lord, tell me please
For all the plastic in the sea
Can we reclaim our decency?

All that we own grows mold
We never listened when we were told
As youngsters we would all grow old
Pockets full of coal or full of gold

Tried to do it right, but
Sullivan-Clinton came not to fight
Iroquoia, scorched was she
And this country came to be
