| My forefathers came, when the land it was open
|
| And built it from nothing, to millions of acres
|
| To live there in freedom, no fears to persue them
|
| To leave all their troubles, and trials behind them
|
| And they worked, and they slaved, and they better their living
|
| Not chained to the laws, of some other society
|
| Chorus
|
| And yet you try to tell me, that it isn’t worth havin'
|
| Try to steal away my name, but my name is my own
|
| And I’m gonna keep it, I’m not a jee jaw in your game.
|
| Oh, your schools and your masters, are trying to tie me To the rules of your game, and the cold of your highway
|
| In little black boxes, tied tightly with ribbon
|
| Your faces is like faith, behind masks are well hidden
|
| As you strive for the things, that to you may seem golden
|
| And mean something to you, but to me they mean nothing
|
| Chorus
|
| And yet you try to tell me, that it isn’t worth havin'
|
| Try to steal away my name, but my name is my own
|
| And I’m gonna keep it, I’m not a jee jaw in your game.
|
| So don’t try to change, what you’re not understanding
|
| Over me your world, has no jurisdiction
|
| For you can’t understand, what you speak of in passin'
|
| So just leave me alone, I don’t want know you
|
| I don’t want you to show me, where I should go to For you haven’t yet found your own long sought utopia
|
| Chorus
|
| And yet you try to tell me, that it isn’t worth havin'
|
| Try to steal away my name, but my name is my own
|
| And I’m gonna keep it, I’m not a jee jaw in your game. |
