Indigo Girls - Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee Lyrics
Indian legislation's on the desk of the do right congressmanNow he don't know much about the issues so he picks up the phoneAnd asks the advice of the senator out in indian countryA darling of the energy companies their ripping offWhat's left of the reservationI learned the safety ruleI don't know who to thankDon't stand between the reservationAnd the corporate bankThey're sending federal tanksIt isn't nice but it's realityBury my heart at wounded kneeDeep in the earthI said cover me with pretty liesBury my heart at wounded kneeThey got these energy companiesWho want to take the landAnd they got churches by the dozensTrying to guide our handsAnd turn our mother earthOver to pollution war and greedWellBury my heart at wounded kneeBury my heart at wounded kneeI said deep in the earthBury my heart at wounded kneeWon't you cover me with your pretty liesBury my heart at wounded kneeBury my heart at wounded kneeThey got the federal marshallsWe get the covert spiesWe get the liars by fireWe get the fbiThey lie in court and get nailedAnd still leonard peltier goes off to jail(the bullets don't match the gun)Bury my heart at wounded kneeAn eighth of the reservationBury my heart at wounded kneeIt was transferred in secretBury my heart at wounded kneeWe got your murder and intimidationBury my heart at wounded kneeMy girlfriend anna mayTalked about uraniumHer head was full of bulletsAnd her body dumpedThe fbi cut off her handsAnd told us she died of exposureYeah rightBury my heart at wounded kneeBury my heart at wounded kneeOh deep in the earthBury my heart at wounded kneeWon't you cover me with pretty liesBury my heart at wounded kneeBury my heart at wounded kneeBury my heart at wounded kneeTalk about a revolutionWe had the gold rush warsWhy didn't we learn to crawl?And now our history gets written in a liar's scrawlThey tell me " honey you can still be an indianDown at the y on saturday night''Bury my heart at wounded kneeBury my heart at wounded kneeI said deep in the earthBury my heart at wounded kneeAnd cover me with your pretty liesBury my heart at wounded kneeBury my heart at wounded kneeBury my heartIt was an eighth of the reservationBury my heartIt was transferred in secretBury my heartGot your murder, murder, murder and intimidationBury meBury meBury meBury my heartBury my heartBury my heartBury my heart
