Just what I'm hearing, don't twist.

Wow, I thought, “this has to be joke”, but it’s not.

Blame Canada!

If hating white people is wrong, you don't want to be right?

After all, the Indians “did” move.

Verdict: mostly true!

RaceBannon

Well they did call them "First Nations" so there is that

Swaye

This is basically equivalent to saying "Black people came to America to help cultivate the land. They enjoyed the work so much, they decided to do it for free."

Stupid fucking white people.

Some people need to learn the difference between first Nations and native Americans.

They weighed their options and chose to stay. Why do you hate free will?

Well, they signed some treaties, and then whitey broke them, and made them move, and then they signed some more treaties, and so on, and so on, and so on.

Eventually they ended up in the asshole of North America (Oklahoma), which nobody cared about until the 1890's or so after all the good land was taken.

And then whitey stole most of that. BOOMER SOONER

Aurora borealis
The icy sky at night
Paddles cut the water
In a long and hurried flight
From the white man
To the fields of green
And the homeland
We've never seen.

They killed us in our tepee
And they cut our women down
They might have left some babies
Cryin' on the ground
But the firesticks
And the wagons come
And the night falls
On the setting sun.

They massacred the buffalo
Kitty corner from the bank
The taxis run across my feet
And my eyes have turned to blanks
In my little box
At the top of the stairs
With my Indian rug
And a pipe to share.

I wish a was a trapper
I would give thousand pelts
To sleep with Pocahontas
And find out how she felt
In the mornin'
On the fields of green
In the homeland
We've never seen.

And maybe Marlon Brando
Will be there by the fire
We'll sit and talk of Hollywood
And the good things there for hire
And the Astrodome
And the first tepee
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
Pocahontas.

Neil was on a roll in the late 70's between "Pocahontas" and "Cortez the Killer". He wrote the best songs about the Swayes getting fucked over by the White Devils.

Stupid fucking white people.

If they didn't like it why were they always singing merrily?
