Wounded Knee |
| There we were, living on our island in the sun |
| Life was so easy, there was plenty for everyone |
| 'Long come a white man who saw the milk and honey |
| Now we’re making due while he’s making all the money |
| Oh no, not a Wounded Knee |
| Another wheel stops rolling |
| Oh no, not a Wounded Knee again |
| There we were, living in our village in the trees |
| We were minding our own business |
| We were doing as we please |
| 'Long came a white man with attitudes and axes |
| Now we’re doing overtime and paying lots of taxes |
| The promises and gifts he brings |
| In honor of the songs he sings |
| Are tearing us apart |
| We were pow-wowing to our hearts content |
| We had the great spirit, we didn’t need a president |
| 'Long came a white man from the civilised nations |
| Now he ain’t having second thoughts |
| But we’ve got reservations |
| Oh no, not a Wounded Knee |
| Another wheel stops rolling |
| Oh no, not a Wounded Knee |
| Another bell starts tolling |
| Oh no, not a Wounded Knee |
| Another people starts calling |
| Oh no, not a Wounded Knee again |
