>>lyrics

assimilation nation

this is an assimilation nation,
one that takes away our rights.
where profits are ahead of people
and those people have to be the same.

think of the lubicon and the land they shared,
their recourses they used to survive.
and when oil was discovered there
the government stole it for their gain.

traditions are destroyed in the face of capitalism
and the people are governed by institutionalized racism,
where were the promises of freedom
and the assurance of safety and land?

this is an assimilation nation,
one that destroys language and ceremony.
and where the young are brainwashed
with needles of oppression.

think of the religiously controlled residential schools
and the pain of families ripped apart.
the children's lost identities
and entered cycles of abuse.

this spirit moves me,
my body brings me down.
