Buffy St Marie is a full-blooded Native American. She pours all her anger at how her people were mistreated into this song. This epic is one of the greatest!
This is a song that sends shivers through me every time I play it.
Never have the words run more true. At this time of the fascist corruption of Trump, Musk and the whole MAGA movement it is very true to say that My Country Tis Of Your People You’re Dying. All morality is being set aside, along with compassion and empathy. The environment is to be plundered. All that matters is greed and profit! America is a heartless business in which the bosses exploit the workforce. This is now the land of inequality, run by billionaires for billionaires. People conned, duped and fleeced. Profiteers run the media. Profiteers pour fake news and propaganda onto the internet. The social media has become the main method of control.
They spread fear, hate and division through mass of lies!
People are indeed killing anything good. The land of guns, hate and callousness. The land of destruction and gross exploitation. The poor and weak are dumped. The wealthy gloat.
It’s a land of racism, violence and shame.
Tis of your people you’re dying!
