Song | Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee |
Artist | Buffy Sainte-Marie |
Album | Coincidence (And Likely Stories) |
Indian legislation's on the desk of a do-right | |
Congressman | |
Now, he don't know much about the issue | |
So he picks up the phone | |
And he asks advice of the | |
Senator out in | |
Indian country | |
A darling of the energy companies | |
Who are ripping off what’s left of the reservations | |
I learned a safety rule, | |
I don’t know who to thank | |
Don't stand between the reservation and the corporate bank | |
They'll send in federal tanks, it isn’t nice but it’s reality | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee deep in the earth | |
Cover me with pretty lies | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee | |
They got these energy companies who want the land | |
And they’ve got churches by the dozen who want to guide our hands | |
And sign Mother | |
Earth over to pollution, war and greed | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee deep in the earth | |
Cover me with pretty lies | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee | |
We got the federal marshals, we got the covert spies | |
We get the liars by the fire and we got the | |
FBI'sThey lie in court and get nailed and still | |
Peltier goes off to jail | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee, an aid to the reservation | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee, transfered in sequence | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee, to murder an intimidation | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee | |
My girlfriend | |
Annie Mae talked about uranium | |
Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped | |
The FBI cut off her hands and told us she’d died of exposure | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee deep in the earth | |
Cover me with pretty lies | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee, bury my heart at wounded knee | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee, bury my heart at wounded knee | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee | |
We had the | |
Goldrush Wars, why didn’t we learn to crawl? | |
And now our history gets written in a liar’s scrawl | |
They tell ya, “ | |
Hey honey, you can still be an | |
IndianD-d-down at the | |
Y on Saturday nights” | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee deep in the earth | |
Cover me with pretty lies | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee deep in the earth | |
Cover me with pretty lies | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee | |
Bury my heart at wounded knee |
