Lyrics We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee - Redbone

We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee

We were all wounded at Wounded Knee, you and me
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee, you and me
In the name of manifest destiny, you and me, you and me, you and me
They made us many promises but always broke their word
They penned us in like buffalo, drove us like a herd
And finally on the reservation where we’d gone for our preservation,
we were all wiped out by the seventh cavalry
You and me, you and me
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee, you and me
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee, you and me
In the name of manifest destiny, you and me, you and me, you and me
Now we make our promises, we won’t break our word
We’ll sing, sing, sing out our story 'til the truth is heard
There’s a whole new generation Braves who dream of veneration who were not
wiped out by the seventh cavalry
You and me, you and me
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee, you and me
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee, you and me
We were all wounded by Wounded Knee
