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

Hearing this was like discovering Desire, or London Calling for the first time. Derivative yet original, the songs are immediate and the melodies will get stuck in your ear for days. tideracer

Seven Daniel Romano originals and three traditionals add up to the most nakedly beautiful album our man released in that fruitful year 2020. Side A is, at present, my favorite vinyl side in Daniel's discography. The vibe, the chord progressions, the guitar work... would I love the album more if every song were a Kelly/Daniel duet ala Streets of Derry? Absolutely. But with an album that's already this gorgeous, to nitpick is to blaspheme. Grain Sparrow
