about

Over the past two years, I've had the honor and privilege of building relationships with members of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape, Ramapough Lenape, and Delaware Lenape communities. This song is dedicated to them and to all people working to retain, reclaim, decolonize, and heal the lands that they belong to.

lyrics

When I was young, they lied to me in school
They played me for a fool
But then I learned that following the rules
Could be eminently cruel
Because the way that we're living is fucked-up
So we echo this demand:
No compromise. Decolonize this land

Land back, land back!
Return indigenous lands
Land back, land back!
Into indigenous hands
Land back, land back!
The way it was before
Land back, land back!
'Cause it was never yours

It didn't start in 1492
It started long before
And no one said it's all because of you
But can you dream a little more?
Because the way that we're living is fucked-up
The situation cannot stand
No compromise, decolonize this land

Land back, land back!
Return indigenous lands
Land back, land back!
Into indigenous hands
Land back, land back!
The way it was before
Land back, land back!
'Cause it was never yours

Because the way that we're living is fucked-up
This is our line in the sand
No compromise, decolonize this land
