Hi.
Are you Armenian or Kurd maybe?
I just checked the lyrics and I don’t think this fairly old cover (1990) of an even older song (1953) was praising any Turkish genocide but rather harmlessly cheering some anti-colonialism.
The chorus talks about New Amsterdam being renamed New York for instance.
Also “They Might Be Giants” are well known for their anti racist songs.
