Write these words back down inside

We have burned their villages and all the people in them died

And we adopt their customs and everything they say we steal

All the dreams they had we kill

Still we all sleep sound tonight

Is this what you wanted to hear?

We erased all their images and dance

And replaced them with borders and flags

At the top of this timeline you'll remember

This is the lipstick on the collar and in my own life

I've seen it in the mirror sometimes at the cost of others hopes

So. Write these words back down inside

That's where you need it the most and without conviction of heart you will never

feel it at all

Yeah - We all dance to the same beat when we we're marching

Yeah- The TV tells us everything we need to know

And this scene is painting in all the fashions of the moment and history is all

the same

Everything you say you stole

Every dream you dreamt you bought

But I'm still here and we are all guilty
