The Day We Killed
|
|
Into mass graves we’e shoveled lives
|
a massive pipeline for the lies
|
a past so vast with genocide
|
and ignorance we hide behind
|
You say that we are done with this
|
turn blind eyes and still dismiss
|
chalk this up as something passed
|
and still create a lower caste
|
|
Chorus:
|
Lies
|
The way you live shows no remorse
|
for the day/ the day we killed Crazy Horse
|
Innocence with glassy eyes
|
kill the nation, steal their pride
|
|
|
On broken backs we build empires
|
twisting spines for the steeple spires
|
How many people can you kill?
|
look at your twenty dollar bill
|
Do you see third world poverty
|
inside the lines of your country?
|
And now to treaties we are loyal
|
but tear them up when we smell oil.
|
|
I can still see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered, all along the crooked gulch. And i can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, it was burried in the blizzard. Our peoples dream died there, it was a beautiful dream
