Lyrics

Say your vows in a stately manor
Pose for pictures under the oak
Sparkling cider and champagne in the foyer
Setting sun casting idyllic orange

You hear the nearby babbling creek
I hear the echo of whips and of shackles

This is where humans like me suffered torture
This is where humans were beaten and bred
This is where tears were poured out to the Lord
Where the thirst for king cotton caused blood to be shed

Ok, go make your memories

Clap your hands for the happy couple
Don’t leave without wishing them well
Open bar so you have a double
DJ is spinning all of the hits

You hear the nearby babbling creek
I hear the sound of the overseer shouting

This is where humans like me suffered torture
This is where humans were beaten and bred
This is where tears were poured out to the Lord
Where the thirst for king cotton caused blood to be shed

Ok, go make your memories

Would you gather to dance at Dachau?
Why are you doing it here?

This is where humans like me suffered torture
This is where humans were beaten and bred
This is where tears were poured out to the Lord
Where the great racist evil caused blood to be shed

Ok, go make your memories
