lirik lagu montrealoyukuluk - don't call me eskimo
[verse 1]
the name ‘eskimo’ came from the british
who came to look for gold, oil and fish
the name means that i ‘eat raw meat’
but we are the people, our name ~ inuit
ancestors lived here and knew how to survive
to eat country’s food would keep you alive
[?] meat, cucumber [?]
they got scurvy and ended up dead
now we’re in houses, no more igloos
if you want a drink, you can’t buy booze
no kamik’s anymore, we all wear shoes
the number one show is to hit my skidoo
it’s our way of life to hunt for a seal
back off, green beast, we just want some meals
don’t tell us what to do, paul mccartney
when we go clubbin’, we’re having a party
ask me a question, you might distress
us to raise my eyebrow, instead of saying “yes”
step up to me to borrow some dough
our income i know is that you’d’ve said “no”
[hook]
in the land of ice and snow
don’t call me ‘eskimo’
bad people aren’t negros
don’t call me ‘eskimo’
in the land of ice and snow
don’t call me ‘eskimo’
bad people aren’t negros
don’t call me ‘eskimo’
[verse 2]
its all dirt here, there’s no payphones
this place really sucks if you have a skateboard
no pops here, it all comes by truck
if you don’t call for water then you’re sh~t outta luck
the one way out is call first here
the price and service ~ no one can compare
it’s night all day and day all night
you can’t go to sleep ‘cuz there is too much light
fall asleep in school and i’m caught snorin’
teacher wakes me up, and i say “boring!”
[interlude]
(record scratching)
“b~b~boring!”
“boring!”
[verse 3]
store is too expensive ~ can’t buy a thing
wanna buy something? gotta have major bling
15 bucks a pack ~ it’s makin’ me broke
people don’t say “hi”, they say: “got smoke?”
october to june the sea turns to ice
listen to me, and take my advice
[hook]
in the land of ice and snow
don’t call me ‘eskimo’
bad people aren’t negros
don’t call me ‘eskimo’
in the land of ice and snow
don’t call me ‘eskimo’
bad people aren’t negros
don’t call me ‘eskimo’
[verse 5]
lot’s of people round here are nervous wrecks
on the first of 15th, waiting for checks
there is no choice, with no more care
many people turn to drugs and despair
drug abuse, violence, drug [?]
inuit people gotta have pride
we gotta listen to the ways of the elders
it’s the only way our lives getting better
let’s struggle everyday, struggle to survive
we [?] by staying alive
[hook]
in the land of ice and snow
don’t call me ‘eskimo’
bad people aren’t negros
don’t call me ‘eskimo’
in the land of ice and snow
don’t call me ‘eskimo’
bad people aren’t negros
don’t call me ‘eskimo’
