I look at you and I see

Everything that I don't want to be

A thousand years of uncivilized

And I am blind when I look through your eyes

You take your things and move away from me

I see bad things about the people

They're Uncivilized

They're Uncivilized

They're Uncivilized



I saw some perfect people in a dream

They laughed and smiled and then they welcomed me

But when I woke, it was racial

A shot was fired, the homeless saw it all

Take your things and move away from me

I see bad things about the people

They're Uncivilized

They're Uncivilized

They're Uncivilized



And after all those trusting moments

You steal me blind, you think I'll go along

You take your things and move away from me

And in your wake you leave destruction

A thousand years of polite savagery

I see bad things about your people

They're Uncivilized

They're Uncivilized

They're Uncivilized



You take your things and move away from me

I see bad things about the people



We welcome them with friendship

They answer with betrayal

We prayed with them for peace

They answered us with war
