Thanksgiving Song - "Thanks Forgiving" by Grant Uchida
Lyrics:
good job my men, we have claimed a new country
look there my men, it goes as far as the eye can see
and I believe that today
our crusade has gone okay
it would have been quite a shock
if we once again landed on Plymouth Rock
hello my friend, man with feathers in his hair
an Indian, i'm pretty sure he would not care
if we decide to abide
we'll take him along for the ride
make a trade with things we've made
and that's the way that he'll get paid
and if everything goes as planned
we'll secretly take all of his land
and we'll say
thanks for giving us your land
thanks for sharing all your food
I hope that you will understand
that we didnt mean to be rude
a feast my friends
one that last about 3 days
we'll set new trends
and teach the Indians new ways
so that we both can be
living in harmony
we'll gain their trust so they wont fuss
when we have them work for us
because its slow, in the snow
we don't know why our crops wont grow
and if your lives we want to save
we'll have to make the Indians our slaves
and we'll say
thanks for giving us your land
thanks for sharing all your food
I hope that you will understand
that we didn't mean to be rude
why must you fight us
when you know we are right?
our boomsticks against your arrows
are no match in a fight
if you wont work for us then we'll wipe you out of sight
by trading our small pox blankets in the middle of the night
the Indians, sad to say there are no more
i hope we're friends...maybe we should end this war
tho its fact, we attacked
we probably wont give your land back
but you see still do we
need workers for our country
where to go? we don't know
I think we hit an all time low
our resource, we need of course
is a durable work force
so for the sake of America
lets take a small trip to Africa
and we'll say
thanks for giving us a hand
thanks for sharing all your food
I hope that you will understand
that we didn't mean to be rude
