Matt Epp performs a new tune 'Unnatural' for Chris Gaudry's Pocketgigs in Winnipeg this summer, 2017, while on his cross country motorcycle trip.
LYRICS:

It’s unnatural
Poisoning the water to make it more valuable
To make whoever’s controlling the water more powerful
Selling off the fruit of the land
Trading in supply for demand

It’s unnatural
Accepting this evil as the way that it is
Waiting for Jesus is not the answer to this
Somebody’s paying for the life that you live
And you're thirsty for something, this time you know what it is

It’s unnatural
That we just stand by
If we’re not stopping the killer
Like we’re hoping to die
When your kid can’t have a drink and she’s starting to cry
And someone’s telling you they own the rain from the sky

It’s natural we stand
Natural we rise
Open up your spirit
Open up your eyes
There’s more of us than there are of them
Let’s take a minute, let that sink in

It’s unnatural
Policing the people that are breaking the rules
When the rules were made in the interest of few
And not even then, these laws are destroying all of the men
Especially the children, what are we teaching them?

It’s unnatural
We’re teaching our boys to take advantage of our girls
We rape and we pillage our Mother, the World
children are watching us, they mimic our ways
Seven generations; We could be gone in a day

It’s unnatural
Keep accepting the lie
Worshipping the dollar
Like the all-seeing eye
Would you keep wetting your lips, keep sucking at the tit
Of capitalism, if you knew it was pregnant with death

CHORUS

“No other country would find oil and leave it in the ground” right?
Do you know what kind of short-sighted asshole you sound like?
You sound like every other liar, every other thief
Every other manipulative commander-in-chief
You dishonour our Native brothers and sisters, and then
You dishonour your self, like your promises to them
Snap out of it Justin, you have the world on your side
You know better than to fight against the changing of the tide
