now drums and bass play alone while chris sings:
but this song’s not about some romantic account of history, it’s not about
martyrs or mythos or heroes
or burnings in effigy. it’s about a native kid flipping her wig to try to
keep some self-respect in tact.
it’s about an oka who raised her fist in resistance, and a will to fight
back!
verses 1 and 2
play these two parts for verse one, then again for verse two!!

words:
verse1
the girls at work, they still deny their racism. they claim tolerance for
all, but it seems the degree of only
racial slurs as their gauge defines tolerance as hate. and there’s
27-million girls at work here. imagine fighting that 500 years.
verse2
And golly gee! how valiant! how the white oppressor makes allowance for the
calculated gestures of
insurgence tightly tethered to their purses. oka had this orchestra
aborted. oka f***ed the rules to choose a future self-determined. i
support *it.
*here’s where you start playing this little solo

| Ok. This song is about the OKA crises, which happened in Canada. A golf course wanted to expand its property onto native reserve land. And they did. But a group of Indians living on the reserve took their hunting guns and made the workers stop jopping down trees. The police came in and the natives and the police faught. The police tries to gas them but the wind pushed it back in their faces. 1 cop died (hence the start of the song). Anyway more natives took places over all over quebec. Riots occured and alot of anti-native racism starting coming out. If you were a native in quebec you couldn't go to town because they'd push your car over and beat you up and shit. Anyway the army came in. The feud was settled, the canadian government bought the land and then gave it back to the natives. This song focuses on how its wrong to take someones sacred land just for some shitty golf course. And Oka was either the golf club name or the reserve name or something....i forget. | |
