500 Years

Oh, it's the time of year again
When people sit down and have dinner with friends
Talk about what they're grateful for
Who they love and how they feel about them

And I'm just here to remind you
That this land was colonized and stolen by you
And while you sit down for dinner
Water cannons are being blasted at native protesters
And there's a war
It's been going on
Five hundred years before you were born

Oh, it's Thanksgiving again
And Kelcy Warren's gonna have dinner with friends
They're gonna have some turkey
And drink expensive wine
While tryin' to make money off that fuckin' pipeline

And I'm just here to remind you
That this land was colonized and stolen by you
And while you sit down for dinner
Water cannons are being blasted at native protesters
And there's a war
It's been going on five hundred years before you were born

So it's that time of year again
When you tell yourself that you're nothing like Kelcy Warren
When you get mad at your rageful friends
For reminding you we profit off native lands

And I'm just here to remind you
That this land was colonized and stolen by you
And while you sit down for dinner
Water cannons are being blasted at native protesters
And there's a war, it's been goin' on
Five hundred years before you were born
