LYRICS
Is it that hard to understand
We’re all in nobody’s land
On my way… on the trail
Distance from the bigly fail
What was once the lonesome trail
All of us exit… U.S. exodus wail
Yippee ki-yay yippi yi yo
From the land where humanity’s bland
We’re all headed to nobody’s land
Away from the brash and grand
On our way in nobody’s land
The lonesome trail is getting over crowded
All the people fleeing from being overshadowed
All the people seeing from being overshadowed
All the people freeing from being overshadowed
On my way… on the trail
Distance from the bigly fail
What was once the lonesome trail
All of us exit… U.S. exodus wail
Yippee ki-yay yippi yi yo

LYRICS
Not bold nor ingenuous
The world is indigenous
From “I”raq to You.S.A
Wouldn’t you say
It’s all of us
What does every being bring
The essence of an Earthling
What have you in common with I
The simple fact — we’re all going to die
So, in the meantime, can’t we all try
Dancing together and in harmony sing
We’d love to see the world sing
In peaceful harmony

LYRICS
Do you understand
Give me back my land
Sing “I’m an earthling”
What havoc you bring
Now, won’t you be a darling
Alas,
Careful the door doesn’t hit you in the ass

Do you understand
Give me back my land
Sing “I’m an earthling”
Champion of the trashing/trashing
Now, won’t you please be a darling
Alas,
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass

Do you understand
Give me back my land
Sing “I’m an earthling”
Overbearing and demanding
Now, once you’re done your damning
Alas,
Careful the door doesn’t hit you in the ass

LYRIC
Sorry, I apologize. I didn’t mean to be ignorant… arrogant
I just thought it redundant — indigenous people
I mean I thought
I thought we were the people
No, wait… I mean
I thought we are the people?

We are the people

I don’t know if you found it
But, I found it abundant in being redundant

Indigenous people
I thought we were all people
And, indigenous all of us
Why create some sort-a fuss
Make people scream and cuss
Then add the S
Indigenous peoples
Is that racist by definition?
Guess you got me there
I realize once I classify people into peoples
That’s some sort-of racist declaration
And, that’s not what I suggest
I suggest we be less racist
’cause we are the people

We are the people

This is where you come in
The people

One, two… that’s at least me and you
