indian legislation's on the desk of the do right congressman
|
now he don't know much about the issues so he picks up the phone
|
and asks the advice of the senator out in indian country
|

|
what's left of the reservation
|
|

|
i don't know who to thank
|

|
and the corporate bank
|
they're sending federal tanks
|
it isn't nice but it's reality
|
|

|

|
|

|
who want to take the land
|
and they got churches by the dozens
|
trying to guide our hands
|
and turn our mother earth
|
over to pollution war and greed
|

|

|

|

|

|

|
