Future History Of The Broken-Hearted Testo

You play the firing squad; Ill be the target
Ill just stand here broken-hearted and amazed
You are the angry mob, I hear you callin
Your Straw-man Gallows swing with
hunger unrestrained
(Chorus)
Youve raped my eyes wide open
Now its easy to see (its easy to see)
How youd say Im guilty of treason
So un-American
Just dont call me blind
Reach over cotton fields; look past the jungles
Post-cards from Wounded Knee and burning desert hells
So long as you can sleep clear of your conscience
Leave future history to those who write so well
(Chorus)
I swear my allegiance to the memory
The shadow
Of a nation that could have been
I swear my allegiance to the memory
The shadow
Of a nation that never was
(Chorus)
