lyrics

They took them from their homes
created people they could own
they can never take that back
never take it back
they tore families apart
a country built by racist harm
we can’t escape our past
can’t escape our past

you can’t erase this part of history
can’t pretend like it’s a mystery
the fruits of your American dream
the seeds were planted back in 1619

we’ve gone from slave owners who killed
to racists on the hill
fuck their white supremacy
do you know your enemy?
they know that change is getting close
so they suppress the right to vote
they want Jim Crow here to stay
let’s lock these fucks away

you can’t erase this part of history
can’t pretend like it’s a mystery
the roots of your American dream
the seeds were planted back in 1619

you can’t erase this part of history
can’t pretend like it’s a mystery
the roots of your American dream
the seeds were planted back in 1619

the seeds were planted back in 1619
we sold our souls to the devil back in 1619
