Artist's Description
The song "Broken English" is a visceral critique of historical hypocrisy and the selective nature of human memory. It functions as both a mirror held up to a dominant culture and a plea for the recognition of shared humanity.
You sought all opportunity
To escape tyranny
Embarked on perilous journeys
To overcome the oppression
Of a ruling class
That thought it too crass
To not dominate and subdue
Utilize bondage and fear as tools
So that you may enjoy the freedoms
Inalienable to life
Simple things like peace and no strife
Do you remember
What it feels like To be me
Do you remember
your ancestors wanted to be free
Do you remember
Do you remember
Do you remember me
What concessions are you willing to make
What revisionists history will you change
How can we comfort you for your transgressions
What truth must we tell to ease your digestion
How many things have you chose to forget
What does it feel like to live with regret
Can we live
Are you really free
If you fought for freedom
Only to enslave me
Can we breathe
Have you overcome oppression
Only to oppress me
Are we equal
Did you undertake a pilgrimage
To seek opportunity
Only to deny my ability to live free
Do you remember freedom
