I am Lakota |
|
Lakota, looking at money man |
|
Diggin' the deadly quotas |
|
Out of balance, out of hand |
|
We want the land |
|
Lay down the reeking ore |
|
Don't you hear the shrieking in the trees? |
|
Everywhere you touch the earth she's sore |
|
Every time you skin her all things weep |
|
Your money mocks us |
|
Restitution what good can it do? |
|
Kenneled in metered boxes |
|
Red dogs in debt to you |
|
I am Lakota |
|
Lakota, fighting among ourselves |
|
All we can say with one whole heart |
|
Is we won't sell, no we'll never sell |
|
We want the land |
|
The lonely coyote calls |
|
In the woodlands footprints of the deer |
|
In the barrooms poor drunk bastard falls |
|
In the courtrooms deaf ears sixty years |
|
You think we're sleeping but |
|
Quietly like rattlesnakes and stars |
|
We have seen the trampled rainbows |
|
In the smoke of cars |
|
I am Lakota |
|
BraveSun pity me |
|
I am Lakota |
|
BrokenMoon pity me |
|
I am Lakota |
|
GraveShadows stretching |
|
LakotaOh, pity me |

FaithfulRocks pity me |
|
I am Lakota |
|
MeekStanding water |
|
LakotaOh, pity me |
|
I am Lakota |
|
Lakota, standing on sacred land |
|
We never sold these black hills |
|
To the missile-heads, to the power plants |
|
We want the land |
|
The bullet and the fence broke |
|
LakotaThe black coats and the booze broke |
|
LakotaCourts that circumvent choke |
|
LakotaNothing left to lose |
|
Tell me grandfather |
|
You spoke the fur and feather tongues |
|
Do you hear the whimpering waters |
|
When the tractors come? |
|
I am Lakota |
|
BraveSun pity me |
|
I am Lakota |
|
BrokenMoon pity me |
