They'Ve Spoilt Everything

Our Land used to be peaceful and fertile Then was our flag rich in white and yoked in green Thus did the Bees play with the Cows without stings Like brothers would their sisters without strings and soaked our children with milk and honey Our People used to be lovely and warm Young men and women moved freely with uncovered danglers We were naked but not nude nor ashamed Though unrefined yet not rude nor untamed Moderately burdened by the bliss of our ignorance Then came the white men We tasted of their Eden fruit and our eyes opened Alas, we saw the greener lawn on the other side Little by little loyalty began to drift and slide We drove them away too early out of greed So, your fathers arose to save the day Here we are worse off than when we first began They being keen to lead and impatient to learn Determined to achieve the lusts they yearn set on a senseless sail amidst the fog Our land is now loathsome and sterile Playgrounds invaded by mosquitoes and church rats daily drowning our children in their pool of blood A body’s priceless price for a visionless head Take this message to your fathers that I said They've spoilt everything.
