Heirs to Thievery
Disseminating myths upon a passive youth
Let's look back upon some long-enshrouded truths
Where fables often tell of tyrannies undone
As good guys all wear white, and wars are always won

Sweep away the dust from books carved so clean
Glaring stark omissions, rapacity unseen
What of foul deception? Treaties gone ignored?
Unjust annexations, and rough-riding hordes?
Why prevaricate?

Heirs to, heirs to, heirs to thievery
Heirs to, heirs to, all this thievery

From Grande to St. Lawrence, a nascent power heaved
Monroe Doctrine, Manifest Destiny decreed
Push to the Pacific, across the open sea
Eliminate the natives and leave them a museum

Expansion had an engine, the slavery of man
From Cuba to Manila, we solidified our plan
Den of fucking thieves

Heroes, dripping out from texts as Gods
Liars, fueling fables, taught as axioms
