Magnolias Lyrics

I don't wanna look back now

I don't wanna think about

The consequences

Of our ancestry

And all the destiny

They manifested

The greed of our fathers

The blood in the waters

We're swimming in it still

Spanish moss in your eyes

And wrong ideas in your head

By now you've bought the lies

And you only see magnolias instead

Oh my God the shame

Oh it has a name:

Americana

A culture that we sold

To the land they stole

Spanish moss in your eyes

And wrong ideas in your head

By now you've bought the lies

And you only see magnolias instead

We'll never comprehend

The pain, the grief, the loss

This ill-begotten land

Came to us at much too high a cost

A fire bell in the night

The rattles of the dead

Distort and twist your sight

Until you only see magnolias instead
