Rupert Common - Settler's Lament Lyrics

I re-found my self
Former state of glory
The child i was untainted by the world
Seek eternal sunshine
Erase all memories
'Cause it 'aint where your from
It's where you're at

Whether you worship Jesus Christ or Muhammed
You're still a human being on this planet
We all drink water and we all bleed blood
We all feel pain and we all need love
And i believe in equality of the sexes
So if your holy book says otherwise i suggest you get an edit
And I don't think that God's homophobic
So if your pastor or your preacher or your teacher thinks its wrong
I suggest you step up and own it
'Cause we've come a long way since the Romans

Did you all know that when settlers came to this land
They thought they were superior?
Didn't think the people had a soul
Armed with the theories of Darwin
Their right hand was still on their bible
Justified the motives of their sins
'Cause if you don't think someone's a human
You won't treat them with respect
All of the treaties are broken and women are still going missing
Police just don't look so hard for them
Said the police just don't look so hard for them

Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo

I re-found my self
Former state of glory
The child I was, untainted by the world
Seek eternal sunshine
Erase all memories
'Cause it 'aint where your from
It's where you're at

Wooaah
Yeeeaaahh
Woooahh
Yeeaah
Wooooah

I re-found my self
Former state of glory
The child I was untainted by the world
Seek eternal sunshine
Erase all memories
'Cause it 'aint where your from
It's where you're at
You're at

Oooooo
Oooooo
Ahhhhh

Oooooo
Oooooo
Ahhhhh

Oooooo
Oooooo
Ahhhhh
