Lyrics The First White Man to Touch California Soil - Sic Alps

The First White Man to Touch California Soil

Me and all the mates are sailing on
Down the colorado river, gone
These men have a liking to be free
And this is all the land we’ll ever need
They called it our suicide
But all around us now curls the breeze
And you must know it’s hard
To see reality
Meanwhile we’ve been working to the bone
Knocking up this letter to the queen
But we’ll never make it through the seas
With every little letter in tow
In this town it rmains to be seen
But i know i love you so
But it’s nevr up up above
It’s always sweeping down in the streets below
They called it our suicide
But all around us now curls the breeze
And you must know it’s hard
To see reality
Now we’re in this country living free
And we got that same mentality
How the colorado used to flow
Now your neighbor’s greener grasses grow
My name is not joaquin
But i know it still goes
The cats who moved that border down
We’re the same ones who just stole your homes
