What About Them?

(chorus)

Puff the magic Jesus

Floats around the universe

The United States is His favorite place on the whole entire earth

So sing your songs and wave your flag

And thank the Lord for all you have

But what about them?

Did you forget about them?

We came we conquered never speak of this again life

Must go on let's not think of them

Things are comfortable now the pioneers have settled in

A perfect blend of progress and pale skin

For our sake and those to come

We'll rewrite the text so you can forget where you came from

Tell it in a way that will build your self esteem

Repackage the product and sell the American dream

(chorus)

History is best forgotten and even better rewritten

And since there's no forgetting let's remember it different

Commit to it so strongly till you believe it

The truth is there but you aren't able to receive it

You need to know you're safe here

Hide your face here cuz you found your faith here

But four walls with no windows doesn't mean you're it

Four walls with no windows doesn't mean they don't exist

(chorus)

What a prosperous, wondrous place

Remember to say grace before we scrape our plates

And ignore the crying outside the door sure

You'll pray for their burdens but you don't want to make it yours

Thin lines divide but there's a world of difference

So crawl back into your happy existence and feel the bliss of ignorance keep you warm

Blessed are those who mourn but it's so foreign

The more you have the less you care

The less you care the more you become unaware

And sure life's not fair but it favors us apparently

And how are we to interpret this excess

Is it God's favor ill-behavior or simply man's modern progress

God bless us as we sweep this mess under the rug

Don't want to walk barefoot on the tile and step in the mud

Out of sight out of mind and pushed to the side

Left for someone else to rationalize and justify

(chorus)
