lyrics

GENERAL J. AMHERST

In the eyes of the British, colonial interest
They saw this as Pontiac’s conspiracy
In the eyes of the critics, displaced and oppressed
It was more like a battle for autonomy

Under the order of General J. Amherst
Blankets were tragically turned into weapons
Pioneering efforts at biological warfare
Blessed natives with Smallpox down in Fort Pitts

Royal declarations are about as concrete
As the word of the white man and what they’ve written down
And what they’ve recorded is mostly in favour
Of those who have conquered than those they have killed

Under the order of General J. Amherst
Blankets were tragically turned into weapons
Pioneering efforts at biological warfare
Blessed natives with Smallpox down in Fort Pitts

Often do monetary interests get confused
With military tactics and outright occupation
Often do military tactics get confused
With brutal forms of murder and outright genocide

It’s easy to justify anything with war
It’s easy to justify anything with war
It’s easy to justify anything with war
It’s easy to justify anything with war
