Текст песни: Future History of the Broken Hearted + перевод

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

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

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
