Lakota |
| I am Lakota! |
| Lakota! |
| Looking at money man-- |
| Diggin' the deadly quotas-- |
| Out of balance-- |
| Out of hand |
| We want the land! |
| Lay down the reeking ore! |
| Don’t you hear the shrieking in the trees? |
| Everywhere you touch the earth--she's sore |
| Every time you skin her all things weep |
| Your money mocks us-- |
| Restitution--what good can it do?-- |
| Kennelled in metered boxes |
| Red dogs in debt to you |
| I am Lakota! |
| Lakota! |
| Fighting among ourselves |
| All we can say with one whole heart |
| Is we won’t sell-- |
| No we’ll never sell |
| We want the land! |
| The lonely coyote calls |
| In the woodlands--footprints of the deer |
| In the barrooms--poor drunk bastard falls |
| In the courtrooms--deaf ears--sixty years |
| You think we’re sleeping--but |
| Quietly like rattlesnakes and stars |
| We have seen the trampled rainbows |
| In the smoke of cars |
| I am Lakota |
| Brave |
| Sun pity me |
| I am Lakota |
| Broken |
| Moon pity me |
| I am Lakota |
| Grave |
| Shadows stretching |
| Lakota |
| Oh pity me |
| I am Lakota |
| Weak |
| Grass pity me |
| I am Lakota |
| Faithful |
| Rocks pity me |
| I am Lakota |
| Meek |
| Standing water |
| Lakota |
| Oh pity me |
| I am Lakota! |
| Lakota! |
| Standing on sacred land |
| We never sold these Black Hills |
| To the missile-heads-- |
| To the power plants |
| We want the land! |
| The bullet and the fence--broke Lakota |
| The black coats and the booze--broke Lakota |
| Courts that circumvent--choke Lakota |
| Nothing left to lose |
| Tell me grandfather |
| You spoke the fur and feather tongues-- |
| Do you hear the whimpering waters |
| When the tractors come? |
| Repeat Chorus |
| Sun pity me |
| Mother earth |
| Mother |
| Moon pity me |
| Father sky |
| Father |
| Shadows |
| Stretching on the forest floor |
| Mother earth |
| Oh pity me |
| Father sky |
| Father |
| Grass pity me |
| Mother earth |
| Mother |
| Rocks pity me |
| Father sky |
| Father |
| Water |
| Standing in a wakan manner |
| Mother earth |
| Oh pity me |
