they say its got 50 percent indians

they say its got 50 percent indians
does that mean they're all patriotic
i don't really consider myself havin ties to that place
it's not personally significant or historic
i came up in a place called blackburn
grew up in a cul de sac
used to go play soccer every driday
used to walk down the street and back
they'd have balls across the fence
over down in the ditch
once caught a frog in a tin
i'll buy a place there if i get rich
those kids played soccer and video games
now they're out in college
some got buff others got emo
and im over stateside listenin to henry rollins
weird how time can change a man
and the places change too
went over there it was freezing damn
i probably looked like a fool
stopped in the train with a backpack on
must've been profiled
seems fuckin strage they'da pulled me over
kinda fuckin wild
but i'm just a kid with brown skin
doesn't have fuckin indiciation of whats within
they've no idea of my inclination
but im sure mistreatment is where the problems begin
im not plannin on committin any crimes
but i'll do what i can to make the stories heard
how these people act foolish for public times
and i'll be sure to pass on the word
this place doesn't seem like a friendly one
and it's not the place i grew up in
sittin in a shop eating a baked bun
grab a beer and recall how shits been
ive been bad over in america
sittin in a fuckin basement
nothing to do but just roam around idly
lookin for another arrangement
these people are paranoid and im tired of shit
and i want a chance to turn the tables
give me a chance to live freely
and for them to get sent to the horse stables
