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
