Day of Infamy

The seventh day of December
the United States attacked without warning
a people who had never given them any trouble
a nation which had never done them any injury
a sovereignty with which they had no quarrel
because they wanted the land.
 

Some Indians say the United States
has done this a hundred times
the only difference here was
these people wrote in English
and had a certain knowledge of law.
 
President Madison proclaimed
oh we bought you seven years ago
we just neglected to collect you
Colonel Covington is just there
to take care of that little task
lay down your guns and we will take you
into the bountiful bosom of the United States
where everybody gets a fair shake
all we want is just your land
and we want to be the boss.
 
First Citizen Napoleon said
fuck no you didn't buy that from us
we never owned that land nor pretended to
that's what we told you when
you came to us to buy that land
we sold you half a continent instead
seven years later you steal the land at gunpoint
some people are hard to fucking please.
 
King Ferdinand of Spain said
hey don't do that it's my land
we stole it from the British fair and square
all I need is just some help
to put down the rebels who stole it from me
declared their independence and took my forts
held elections and chased good Spaniards
constituted a republic and beat the shit out of my men.
 
My ancestors said whereas
the United States has violated the Laws of Nations
which relate to State in amity
the Executive of this State is empowered
to make such disposition of the armed forces
as he may see fit.
 

Surprise attack, land grab, cover up, hidden history.
So-called law warped to deny our heritage.
Day of shame of an evil empire.
