Lyrics
[Verse 1]
John Wayne
Where you at?
You got your cowboy hat?
You hate
In your heart
It's been black from the very start
[Verse 2]
You are no hero
You're a milquetoast zero
I heard you have no teeth
John Wayne, what's your beef?
[Verse 3]
Fake ass
Cowboy
Overcompensating old boy
John Wayne
Plays SS
Picture tucked in your little cowboy vest
[Chorus]
Best cowboy that never existed
White narrative gets it twisted
I want to punch you close-fisted
Tear down your silver screen of lies
[Verse 4]
Kevin Costner
Where you at?
You got your cowboy hat?
The savior
Of the west
A fucking liar in a cowboy vest
[Verse 5]
You suffer
For your art
Stealing stories and stabbing hearts
Colonial brain
Can't let go
Fake respect for your indigenous foes
[Verse 6]
Romantic with a capital R
A grave robber with a thirst for war
So tired of your devotion to the myth
There's no nobility, just murder and theft
[Verse 7]
Settler fantasy
It's a tapestry
Of lies and genocide
You profit off the murder
Of a way of life that you'll never find
[Chorus]
Best cowboy that never existed
White narrative gets it twisted
I want to punch you close-fisted
Tear down your silver screen of lies
