Genocide |
| When they try to tell you knowledge is a dangerous thing |
| It’s such a dangerous thing |
| The people that have it are the people that sin |
| And the people that need it are the people that can never win |
| They can never win |
| Let me get you out of here little broken wing |
| There are people 'round here that are right |
| There are people 'round here that like to sleep at night |
| There are people 'round here that go slow |
| There are people 'round here |
| That don’t take kindly to the killing of the buffalo, oh no |
| When they tear up all the treaties and break up all the plans |
| They break up all the plans |
| Did you do your duty and kill on command? |
| Did you know the red man used to roam this land? |
| He used to roam this land |
| Now the souls of lost warriors blow across the sands |
| People 'round here, they get it right |
| People 'round here, we like to sleep at night |
| There are people 'round here that go slow |
| People 'round here |
| That don’t take kindly to the killing of the buffalo, oh no |
| So listen to my story and listen to it well |
| You better listen well |
| Listen to the glory of the gory details of the tale I tell |
| Did you know the red man very well? |
| I used to know him well |
| Did you know the hunting ground before it became a hell? |
| There are people 'round here that are right |
| There are people 'round here that like to sleep at night |
| There are people 'round here I don’t know |
| There are people 'round here |
| That don’t take kindly to the killing of the buffalo |
| The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo |
| The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo |
| The killing, the killing of the, the killing of the buffalo |
| The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo |
| The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo |
| The killing, the killing |
| So listen to my story of genocide |
| How they were hunted and slaughtered |
| Till there was no place left to hide |
| Did you know the red man used to hold his head with pride? |
| Till every man, woman and child were destroyed |
| There are people 'round here that get it right |
| There are people 'round here that couldn’t sleep at night |
| There are people 'round here I don’t know |
| There are people 'round here |
| That don’t take kindly to the killing of the buffalo |
| There are people 'round here that understand |
| There are people 'round here that couldn’t give a damn |
| There are people 'round here that go slow |
| There are people 'round here |
| That don’t take kindly to the killing of the buffalo |
| There are people 'round here |
| That don’t take too kindly to the killing of the buffalo |
| The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo |
| The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo |
| The killing of the buffalo, the killing, the killing of the |
| They’re killing all the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo |
| The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo |
| The killing of the buffalo, the killing, they’re killing all the |
| They’re killing all the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo |
| The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo |
| The killing of the buffalo, the killing, the killing |
| The killing of the buffalo |
