187-219-227 Translated says "We don't want you here. Go back home, where you came from" The only way we do want you here is if you transform yourself. In other words become the image of our fantasy of an obedient, english speaking, white thinking, aculturated, assimilated American It's for your own good Sure you can become an American. You can be one of us You just have to abide by some simple rules All you got to do is, forget where you come from, buy the lie, kill yourself to wake up in the American dream... Or else Stop all traditional cultural practices...Today Stop all identity connected to your mother country...Now Stop speaking any language other than english And if we catch you speaking any foreign language in public, in school, even in the home you are subject to arrest and deportation. It's for your own good See how easy it is to become an American Just fulfill the image of our fantasy of adosal, quiet, obedient, english speaking, white thinking On second thought, we'd prefer that you not to become voting citizens. So just stay illegal so we can continue to have our scapegoats ok Land of the free, home of the brave. See how many options you have? Things will be so much easier once you forget all that bothersome cultural private stuff. Primitive thinking religions and indiginous languages Then you can progress, move forward. Move towards the ideal. Complete assimilation. It's for your own good. Then maybe you can get an education. See in America everyone is equal right? Everyone has the same opportunities to succeed right? Thats what this democracy, this system, this government, this country is based on right? Equal opportunity, thats why we ended affirmitavie action. It's for your own good. Because minoritys, working people, poor people they dont need any policies like that. Because everything's equal...right? Racism? Oh that...uh...well...see we took care of that. Thats not a problem anymore. Maybe theres a few isolated incidences with the KKK in the south but this is California. Racism's a thing of the past. ^^^that's the sample^^^ it's so powerful when hearing that. really makes you think. the whole album is pure genius. |

| could this be about someone who has been trusted deeply and then betrays them so much that it changes the way they see everything. saying how their eyes are speaking in tongues...it just seems that he can read in her eyes that she has betrayed him..and that his view on life and trust can never be the same....reminds me of my ex g/f... anyway thats just my opinion.. | |
