Question of Identity - David McWilliams

My forefathers came, when the land it was open

And built it from nothing, to millions of acres

To live there in freedom, no fears to persue them

To leave all their troubles, and trials behind them

And they worked, and they slaved, and they better their living

Not chained to the laws, of some other society

Chorus

And yet you try to tell me, that it isn’t worth havin'

Try to steal away my name, but my name is my own

And I’m gonna keep it, I’m not a jee jaw in your game.

Oh, your schools and your masters, are trying to tie me To the rules of your game, and the cold of your highway

In little black boxes, tied tightly with ribbon

Your faces is like faith, behind masks are well hidden

As you strive for the things, that to you may seem golden

And mean something to you, but to me they mean nothing

Chorus

And yet you try to tell me, that it isn’t worth havin'

Try to steal away my name, but my name is my own

And I’m gonna keep it, I’m not a jee jaw in your game.

So don’t try to change, what you’re not understanding

Over me your world, has no jurisdiction

For you can’t understand, what you speak of in passin'

So just leave me alone, I don’t want know you

I don’t want you to show me, where I should go to For you haven’t yet found your own long sought utopia

Chorus

And yet you try to tell me, that it isn’t worth havin'

Try to steal away my name, but my name is my own

And I’m gonna keep it, I’m not a jee jaw in your game.
