Captain Greenzone's Flying Pride Brigade
You've had your chance
But you've made a mess of things
Now sit back down.
We can see you through
The incompetent ones
You've placed before us.
Parrots are not impressive.
We surrendered our culture
Rooted deep in our ground.
Watched in muted horror
As you pushed us aside
And claimed our treasures for yourself.
Now we only ask you watch us starve outside your walls
Of pride,
So you can be absolutely certain
This brutal exercise was worth it to you
That it all worked out in the end...
But nothing ends, Captain. Nothing ever ends.
Our children will fight back
And put you and your cronies in your place,
Where you were lost
And crossed all the lines you shouldn't have crossed.
Captain Greenzone, your ship has sailed
Don't fight the tide, you can't prevail
Captain Greenzone, it's time to leave
Let leaders come from those who grieve.
