No more genocide

Chapter 11

 

 

  

Why do we call them the enemy

  

  

this struggling nation
we've been bombing across the sea?

  

  

Why do we want these people to die?

  

  

Why do we say North and South?

  

  

Oh, why, oh why, oh why?

  

  

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!

  

  

Oh, why are our history books
so full of lies

  

  

when no word is spoken of why the Indian died

  

  

or why the Chicano love the California land?

  

  

Do all books say it was discovered
by the white men?

  

  

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!

  

 

Oh, why are the weapons of the war so young,

  

 

and why are there only older men
around when it's done?

  

 

Why are so many of our soldiers black or brown?

  

 

Do we say it's because they're good

  

 

at cutting yellow people down?

  

 

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!
