Ellis Island, Ellis Island, Ellis Island
Oh, don’t bother us with
Ellis Island
Some of our DNA were
fishing from the sand bar
When our other DNA came
paddling up the creek
With flags and guns and
swords and bibles and stuff
We were killing each other
in the woods
Before you lot ever got
off the boat
And landed on the wharves
that we had built
(When we weren’t killing
each other)
And still everything is a mess,
that’s true -
But now that we’re all
here, what will we do?
