honkys - evan olson lyrics

well, once upon a time up the plymouth rock
they came ashore on a big old boat
they told the red men, “we gonna do it all our way”
and that’s how the story goes
started building their homes on the prairie land
and making up their own list of rules
within a few more years when life bit them
there come a couple more million fools

another skinny white boy cutting down the trees
and building roads where they wanna go
i wonder if they ever bothered to say “please”
or even thought of saying “thank you, bro”
another skinny white boy spreading his disease
making sure everybody knows
then when a honky starts throwing his weight all around
you know it’s going to be a bad show
yeah

well, a couple hundred years threw right by
and the honkys started acting funny
they told the black man, “you’re gonna work for me”
“but i won’t pay you any money”
started whipping and trading and stealing and k!lling
and playing with the laws of humanity
he was even leaving a big long trail of pain
for as far as you could see

another skinny white boy making all the cash
keeping all of it to himself
until the taxman come knocking on the door
then he says, “how can i help?”
another skinny white boy making all the laws
but don’t abide by a single one
if you ever see a honky coming down your street
you better lock your door and run
you better lock your door and run
yeah

you better use what you can today
before the man come and take it away
you better use what you can today
before the man come and take it away
you better use what you can today
before the man come and take it away
you better use what you can today
before the man come and take it away

now it’s a fat white boy eating all the food
and telling everybody how to live
it’s just another sad story for the history books
they probably teach you in western civ
if a honky don’t learn to live in peace
then h*ll about has brought the man
i see a storm brewing out so long and tall
that the sun won’t rise again
i said the sun won’t rise again
i said the sun won’t rise again
i said the sun won’t rise again
