1.
The lone ranger fought
For the American way,
To steal red man’s land.
2.
Mislabeled “savage”
Fighting for their survival
Against genocide.
3.
“Tonto” means “fool that
Has mercy on enemies
Not worthy of it.”
4.
The lone ranger fought
To protect the colonists’
“Rights” to steal the land.
5.
A”high hoe silver!”
Was the Ranger’s battle cry
As he galloped off.
6.
Zorro’s accent’s thick
Ev’ryone else says, “Señor”
Ev’ry now and then.
7.
Indians that fought
In their livelihoods’ defense
Became the “villians.”
8.
Perpetuating
Master racist’s fantasies
In syndication.
9.
But, back in the day
I thought Lone Rangers were cool-
Wanted to be one!
10.
It’s retro TV
Back when white men ruled the world
And believed their own lies.
