Future History of the Broken Hearted Lyrics
You play the firing squad; Ill be the target
Ill just stand here broken-hearted and amazed
You are the angry mob, I hear you callin
Your Straw-man Gallows swing with
Hunger unrestrained
(Chorus)
Youve raped my eyes wide open
Now its easy to see (its easy to see)
How youd say Im guilty of treason
So un-American
Just dont call me blind
Reach over cotton fields; look past the jungles
Post-cards from Wounded Knee and burning desert hells
So long as you can sleep clear of your conscience
Leave future history to those who write so well
(Chorus)
I swear my allegiance to the memory

The shadow
Of a nation that could have been
I swear my allegiance to the memory
The shadow
Of a nation that never was
(Chorus)
