leanne betasamosake simpson - i pity the country lyrics

[verse 1]
i pity the country
i pity the state
and the mind of a man
who thrives on hate
small are the lives
of cheats and of liars
of bigoted news press
fascist town criers
deception annoys me
deception destroys me
the bill of rights throws me
jails, they all know me
frustrated are churchmen
the saving+of+soul men
the tinker, the tailor
the colonial governor
they rape and they beat me (i pity the country)
seeking to draw me (i pity the state, and the mind of a man)
away from the roundness (who thrives on hate)
of this life

[verse 2]
silly civil servants
they thrive off my body
their trip is with power
back+bacon and welfare
police, they arrest me
materialists detest me
pollution, it chokes me
movies, they joke me
politicians exploit me (politicians exploit me)
city life, it jades me (city life, it jades me)
hudson’s bay fleeces me (hudson’s bay fleeces me)
hunting laws freak me (hunting laws freak me)
government is stumbling (government is stumbling)
revolution is rumbling (revolution is rumbling)
to be ruled in impunity (to be ruled in impunity)
is tradition continuity (is tradition continuity)
[chorus]
i pity the country
i pity the state
and the mind of a man
who thrives on hate
i pity this country

[chorus]
i pity the country
i pity the state
and the mind of a man
who thrives on hate
small are the lives
of cheats and of liars
of bigoted news press
fascist town criers

[chorus]
i pity the country
i pity the state
and the mind of a man
who thrives on hate
i pity the country
i pity the state
