Heirs to Thievery |
| Disseminating myths upon a passive youth |
| Lets look back upon, some long-enshrouded truths |
| Where fables often tell, of tyrannies undone |
| As good guys all wear white, and wars are always won |
| Sweep away the dust from books carved so clean |
| Glaring, stark omissions, rapacity unseen |
| What of foul deception? |
| Treaties gone ignored? |
| Unjust annexations, and rough-riding hordes? |
| Why prevaricate? |
| Heirs to thievery |
| From Grande to St Lawrence, a nascent power heaved |
| Monroe Doctrine, Manifest Destiny decreed |
| Push to the Pacific, across the open see |
| Eliminate the natives (and leave them a museum!) |
| Expansion had an engine — the slavery of man |
| From Cuba to Manila, we solidified our plan |
| Den of fucking thieves |
| Heroes, dripping out from texts as Gods |
| Liars, fueling fables, taught as axioms |
