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
[Chorus:] 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
[Chorus]
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
