"not our hands"

we might not have had temples & churches
or discovered yet the secrets of wine
may not have had horse drawn carriages
& sat around a table for lunch & to dine

we went with our ships & took away everything
the land wasn't our land those hands were not our hands

just because we didn't live in cute houses
or walk to mass in our sunday bests
doesn't mean that we counted for something less
we are not superior only because we played chess

no we didn't have recipes of fine french cuisine
& we didn't have a government lords or a queen
may not have had banks shops & streets
we conversed in song & recounted our dreams

let me ask you who do you think is more civilised

(for stereo
