Awakening Americans (unreleased) Lyrics - Alanis Morissette

We watch movies of murder and we censor the breast 

Give thanks for the murders of Chris Columbus 

We kill our own and we vote for the men 

The lesser of evils and us starring the role of victim 

I wonder how we change if we can in this land 

I wonder how many mountains we'd move if we bent together 

Us privileged Americans 

We pass our revisions onto the next generation 

We kneel to the gods of corporation 

We eat when we're full and we hoard all the rest 

With our hands on remotes we say yes, we're the best 

I wonder what we change in this land 'cause we can 

Even with western 'centricity this rampant 

Us ugly Americans 

Tired are not my hands 

But see strangers and enemies as part of me is real 

For me this awakening Canadian 

We teach our offspring for themselves, every man 

We shrug shoulders and create yet another ism 

We dissuade our young from using their imagination 

We avert our eyes from this our very own manifestation 

I wonder what will change in this land 'cause we can 

I wonder how many mouths we'd fill if we band together 

Us awakening Americans
