No More Genocide

Why are our history books so full of lies
When no word is spoken of why the Indians died
Or that the Chicanos loved the California land
Do our books all say it was discovered by one white man
That’s just a lie, one of the many and we’ve had plenty
I don’t want more of the same
No more genocide in my name
Nazi forces grow again, ignorance gives them a place
The Klan is teaching children to hate the human race
Where once there was a playground, now an MX missile plan
Do they think it’s fun to see just how much we can stand
People die all around the world from starvation and grief all the time
Some folks try to avoid the truth by saying God and gun will provide
In Auschwitz, Capetown and Beirut, San Salvador, Greensboro,
Belfast, Manila and many more
It’s a crime, do we think the fascist right will save the world in time
They try to tell us so but we’ve got to tell them no
