They came from a foreign land
Sailed the seas with guns in hand
Brutal conquest was their aim
Slaughtered millions just like game
Our tainted history of manifest destiny
Raw aggressive tendency cloaked in false nobility
Imperialistic banners fly, flapping in the open sky
Testament to the big lie, freedom's just an alibi
Greedy, they moved farther west
Raised their families, killed the rest
Bloodstained soil on the frontier
Legacy of death and fear
Our tainted history of manifest destiny
Raw aggressive tendency cloaked in false nobility
Imperialistic banners fly, flapping in the open sky
Testament to the big lie, freedom's just an alibi
