Indigenous Peoples – ExperiMental Music

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

LYRICS
The wrath of God(s)
Is at odds
With the wrath of the People(s)

Dying won’t help ya and prayin’ won’t do ya know good
Ain’t gonna find shelter under nooooo steeple
Seek though the sheep may
Nay, people will not find shelter under the steeple

Moment is ripe on the vine to forget about mine
And, do what I should.. what I could… beyond wondering “what would”

Do you find it odd
God’s at odds?
The wrath of God
God’s at odds
With the wrath of the Peoples
Best not seek refuge under Her steeple(s)

Wrath Of The God(s).mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
Bb/Dm9

131 BPM / Pop Ballad

Inspired by Columbus Day and the banter of Indigenous Peoples Day.

“The noun people has both a PLURAL sense and a SINGULAR sense. In the PLURAL sense, people is used as the plural of person very frequently. It is a plural count noun and takes a plural verb. It never has an -s ending; it is already plural.”… Isn’t just saying Indigenous Peoples ridiculous?
