The United States Of Amnesia - Robert Wyatt

There are degrees of amnesia, ways to forget

Ways to remember all the good that you’ve done

And if you can’t get a witness remind yourselves

Nobody’s just perfectly good all the time

And if you killed all those redskins long, long ago

Well, they’d all be dead now anyway, anyway

So let’s have no reservations, let’s have a clean sweep

Clearing the way for the land of the free

Let’s hear it for civilisation once more

Build your aryan empire in peace

Don’t let that ghost disconcert you — the lord will provide

A nice little headstone for the brave Cherokee

So let’s have no reservations, let’s have a clean sweep

Clearing the way for the land of the free

Let’s hear it for civilisation once more

Build your aryan empire in peace

So let’s have no reservations, let’s have a clean sweep

Clearing the way for the land of the free

Let’s hear it for civilisation once more

Build your aryan empire in peace
