Fair Trade

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

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
