Fair Trade - John West

Can we take your gold and silver?

Would you trade this island for beads?

How 'bout your women for horses?

Sounds like a fair trade to me

Sounds like a fair trade to me

Familiar story from around the world

It’s just good business, friend

You’ll never know the price of peace

Until we reach the end

Beautiful forest, clear mountain stream

I think I’ll name it after me

But who are these people inhabiting for free

My «new» discovery

Fair trade

How 'bout your women for horses?

Sounds just like a fair trade to me

It sounds like a fair trade to me

So many people, broken native heart

Driven from your land

But it’s just progress

So we pick your pocket

While we shake your hand

Bountiful farmland, white sandy beach

I think I’ll name it after me

Who are these people inhabiting for free

My «new» discovery

Your arrows are no match for our bullets

Sounds just like a fair trade to me
