Wounded Knee

There we were, living on our island in the sun

Life was so easy, there was plenty for everyone

'Long came a white man who saw the milk and honey

Now we're making do while he's making all the money

Oh no, not Wounded Knee

Another wheel stops rolling

Oh no, not 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

Oh no, not Wounded Knee

Another wheel stops rolling

Oh no, not Wounded Knee again

The promise and the gifts he brings

The honourable songs he sings

Are tearing us apart

We were pow-wowing to our hearts content

We had the greatest spirit, we didn't need a president

'Long comes a white man from the civilized nations

Now he ain't having second thoughts

But we've got reservations

Oh no, not Wounded Knee

Another wheel stops rolling

Oh no, not Wounded Knee

Another bell starts tolling

Oh no, not Wounded Knee

Another people start calling

Oh no, not Wounded Knee again

Oh no, not Wounded Knee again
