Founding Fathers Lyrics - Singles - Mdc

Are the founding fathers terrorists or freedom fighters? 

And Paul Revere the famous night rider 

And 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 are the good guys or so we perceive 

So back then they rebelled against the king 

The U.S. in Iraq is really the same thing 

All the radio hate disc jockey's 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 to save it is part of the plan 

Just as letting African's die of AIDS is 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 are gonna' teach these people how to be free." 

We prop up the Saudi's corrupt regime 

Denied 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 or so they're told 

"Didn't they lynch black folks in the South 

and set them on fire and hang them from trees just like they did those men in Iraq?" 

"Oh honey, that was so long ago. We don't think about things like that." 

All this hypocrisy makes us sick as hell 

Our murderous government think they're so swell 

Capture people deny them 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?
