It starts with an idea
We humans are clever
If we want a change from the present
We use our violent ways to do so
With deniability a bonus
But sometimes killing is done in the open
To present what happens if
Should you oppose the present course
In the west of the United States
American Indians were not dying quickly enough
A solution was found
As the Federal government killed their food source
In the Soviet Union, the farmers were not willing to conform
To the dictates of government
As they refused to form into communes
So Stalin and his cadre of operatives
Shipped away almost all of Ukraine's grain
It isn't unusual to use such ways
Whether to kill by attrition
Or directly starve a people
They'll die
But if they fight and resist
Aircraft and missiles will blow them up
And again
And again
Are we the unwilling
Do we resist
Or are we the hands of the devil
We have been complicit
We are also fools
We live upon stolen land
We eat stolen food
We live upon the bones of the innocent
And somehow
We think we've become enlightened
Instead we must face the truth
By our action or acceptance
We are the devil's tools
