Europe shed the blood of the Indians.
Here I sit in the land of plenty,
Crying about my own virginity
Hey blueblood you're nothing new.
You see I come from privilege too.
A chapter of the book on the Americas,
You're just another colonial terrorist.
Scooter boys and Argentineans,
Europe shed the blood of the Indians.
Here I sit in the land of plenty,
Crying about my own virginity
Shame
Shame
Way down south where the Mayas reign.
Zapata reading poetry in his grave,
They said "We're stealing from the best to feed the poor."
Well they need more.
Scooter boys and Argentineans,
Europe shed the blood of the Indians.
Here I sit in the land of plenty,
Crying about my own virginity.
Shame
Shame
