What about them? Lyrics

What about them?
{refrain}
puff the magic jesus goes around the universe
the united states is his favorite place on the whole entire earth
So sing your songs and wave your flag
thank the lord for all you have
but what about them? did you forget about them?

{verse 1}
we came we conquered never speak of this again
life must go on lets not think of them
things are comfortable now the pioneers have settled in
a perfect blend of progress and pale skin
for our sake and those to come
we'll rewrite the texts so you can forget where you came from
tell it in away that'll build your self esteem
repackage the product and sell the american dream

{verse 2}
history is best forgotten even better rewritten
and since there's no forgettin let's remember it different
commit to it so strongly til you believe it
the truth is there but you aren't able to receive it

you need to know you're safe here
hide your face here because you found your faith here
but four walls with no windows doesn't mean you're it
four walls with no windows doesn't mean they don't exist

{verse 3}
what a prosperous wondrous place
remember to say grace before we scrape our plates
and ignore the crying outside the door
sure you'll pray for their burdens but you don't want to make it yours
then lies the problem but there's a world of difference
crawl back into your happy existence
and feel the bliss of ignorance keep you warm
blessed are those who mourn but it's so foreign
the more you have the less you care
the less you care the more you become unaware
and sure life's not fair but it favors us apparently
and how are we to interpret this excess?
is it's god's favorite ill behavior simply mans modern progress?
god bless us as we sweep this mess under the rug
don't wanna walk barefoot on the tile and step in the mud
out of site out of mind pushed to the side
left for someone else to rationalize and justify
