Founding Fathers - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Are the founding fathers terrorists or freedom fighters?

Paul Revere, the famous night rider

Andrew Jackson, the Indian killer

A movie of his life could be a nightmare thriller

Hand out blankets with disease

Our God is so much better we believe

Genocidal times, get on your knees

We're the good guys or so we perceive

So back then they rebelled against the king

U.S. in Iraq is really the same thing

All the radio hate disc jockeys rage

Screaming we should blast them back to the stone age

Just like John Wayne running up the hill

See how many Vietnamese he could kill

Destroy the village, part of the plan

Letting Africans die of AIDS to steal their land

"Mommy, was George Washington a terrorist?"

"No honey, he was a great man

The first president and an important slave owner"

"Mommy, what are doing in Iraq?"

"Honey, we're gonna teach these people to be free"

Prop up the Saudi's corrupt regime

Deny people's rights and justice so it seems

All done for convenience and all that black gold

Send our boys off to protect our freedoms they are told

"Didn't they lynch black folks in the South

Set 'em on fire, hang 'em from trees

Just like they did those men in Iraq?"

"Oh honey, that was long ago

We don't like to think about things like that"

All this hypocrisy makes us sick as hell

Our murderous government think they're all so swell

Capture people and deny 'em their rights

Abuse them from Guantanamo to the Golan Heights

Are the founding fathers terrorists or freedom fighters?

Take land from the Indians in trade for a little cider

Remember the only good Indian is one that is dead

How would it feel for it to be us instead?
