American Empire (Kills People and Cultures) Video (MV)

Tonight at six o'clock on channel nine
The Washington Redskins take to the line
And though by the thousands all the people protest
I can't help but think that maybe they don't understand
See they asked for honor, so they have received
A logo and a franchise and a football team
So why don't you calm down now, it's hardly tasteless
Nothing against the Indians, it's just good business

Guns and steel and a funeral pyre
Pave the way for American Empire
Trail of Tears was our so-called destiny
This genocidal hatred is not just history

So take a walk down scenic Chippewa Street
A damn respectful name, but take a look at the marquee
Sure, most the films are white, but this summer one is for the natives
And I know just what you're thinking: How did we get so creative?
We auditioned all the Indians, you see we really tried
But none could do it justice and so we did decide
To rake in all the cash with Depp, I swear it isn't tasteless
Nothing against the Indians, it's just good business

Guns and steel and a funeral pyre
Pave the way for American Empire
Trail of Tears was our so-called destiny
This genocidal hatred is not just history

Well take a look on up to frigid North Dakota
Where the black snake's pumping oil, or was that Leech Lake, Minnesota?
The natives in their masses all protest the march of progress
And I don't know about you, but do they seem a little violent?
So we'll go in with our tanks and we'll go in with our guns
We'll break up their rash assembly until there is no one
And ship them off to Pine Ridge where you'll forget in a second
Nothing against the Indians, it's just good business

Guns and steel and a funeral pyre
Pave the way for American Empire
Trail of Tears was our so-called destiny
This genocidal hatred is not just history
This genocidal hatred is not just history
This genocidal hatred is not just history
