T-SHIRT LYRICS

Well string them feathers in my long hair

and put me on a plain t-shirt the fans will wear

It won’t be in loving, memory

but just so you can sell to aid your utilities

But let me see that quantum, cause it looks to me

 you’ve never laid eyes on a CDIB

So what the hell, you tryin to represent? 

Is it the genocide of our kind or your lament

There’s no Cherokee fiddle, but the cowboys

are still trying to pull off stepping out in leather and turquoise 

I’ve never known a headdress, to be an iron on

at least y’all ain’t forgot whose land you’re standing on

Can't teach a man to live life or how to make it out alive

without him taking all you had to survive

But we’re still kickin, live in the flesh

after all your wasted time used to oppress 

Been known as a savage, by the ones who ravaged

and tore through the home that we had made

back when a pale face, could be so out of place

 in what they call America these days

oh can’t you see, that without me, you’d have a plain white tee

We’re a mighty voice heard through the land

you call us names but we’re the one true American 

And we had our freedom, well long before

lead was spread in our yard from a British war

Oh I’d be ashamed, I’d feel so blue

 to treat a man like he ain’t the shit on your shoe

I can say this country, is built on the lies

and all the broken promises you try to hide

Been known as a savage, by the ones who ravaged

and tore through the home that we have made

back when a pale face, could be so out of place

 in what they call America these days

oh can’t you see, that without me

you’d have a plain white tee
