Translation
Bilingual
Big as land-grab
As Columbus
Started just snatching this land
From the skins
ย
In the twenty-first century
Some men behind closed doors
Started doing the same thing
All over again
The butchers all bought land
To the Gulf of Mexico
Lord, I want all y'all to know
Without our wetlands
We all crazy
And I'm gonna tell ya
It's Cheney and Halliburton
ย
We the land of bayous, swamps and rivers
Water shifts, shapes this land
Lord, it's been doing that forever
Big corporations got our wildlife
And culture threatened
ย
Can't you see they don't want us all
All together, no
This country's foot on down that muddy Mississippi
Couldn't make no world as it should be
Great Father of Waters, skins set it right
They want to see that three-mile limit gone
Lord, we got to buy land-grab
It ain't your way or my way
That nature let it flow
It's just that hurricane highway
Lord, that we call Mr. Gore
Ninth Ward in Saint Bernard
Like H-bomb spilled in our front yard
Terror bomb Vermillion
The Butch Cameroon
So much I think, Lord, is already gone
Lord, can't you see what they doing?
Yeah
