Story behind the song
I watched Hotel Rwanda, and then went downstairs and wrote this song in about 5 minutes... it's not necessarily about Rwanda, it's just about how every time a group of people is convinced to believe in something strongly, and at the same time believe that the other side is unconditionally wrong, death ensues. The song is sung from the point of view of history, personified I guess.
Lyrics
you've been killing all your brothers and now i'll have you assign the blame to them for doing the exact same thing oh, you're a simple little island surrounded by land but the outside world is really only there to watch and turn to those who believe in something strong i'll have you kill the ones you think are wrong you can see that your history is a violent fire that seems to feed itself in perpetuity but still when color and creed turn to blood and greed the outside world is really only there to watch and burn to those who believe in something strong i'll have you kill the ones you think are wrong and just when you think that you're on the brink of breaking free without me you'll find me in a book use it to fuel a fire or two and forget all about me oh, you're a simple little island surrounded by land but the outside world is really only there to watch and burn to those who believe in something strong i'll have you kill the ones who think are wrong we'll gladly kill the ones we think are wrong because we all believe in something strong
