David McWilliams - Question Of Identity lyrics

My forefathers came, when the land it was open And built it from nothing, to millions of acres To live there in freedom, no fears to persue them To leave all their troubles, and trials behind them And they worked , and they slaved, and they better their living Not chained to the laws, of some other society And yet you try to tell me, that it isn't worth havin' Try to steal away my name, but my name is my own And I'm gonna keep it, I'm not a jee jaw in your game. Oh, your schools and your masters, are trying to tie me To the rules of your game, and the cold of your highway In little black boxes, tied tightly with ribbon Your faces is like faith , behind masks are well hidden As you strive for the things, that to you may seem golden And mean something to you, but to me they mean nothing And yet you try to tell me, that it isn't worth havin' Try to steal away my name, but my name is my own And I'm gonna keep it, I'm not a jee jaw in your game. So don't try to change, what you're not understanding Over me your world, has no jurisdiction For you can't understand, what you speak of in pa**in' So just leave me alone, I don't want know you I don't want you to show me, where I should go to For you haven't yet found your own long sought utopia And yet you try to tell me, that it isn't worth havin' Try to steal away my name, but my name is my own And I'm gonna keep it, I'm not a jee jaw in your game.
