Indigo Girls - Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee lyrics
Indian legislations on the desk of a do right congressman And he dont know much about the issues so he picks up the phone And asks the advice of the senator out in indian country A darling of the energy companies ripping off Whats left of the reservation I learned the safety rule I dont know who to thank Dont stand between the reservation And the corporate bank Theyre sending federal tanks It isnt nice but its reality Bury my heart at wounded knee I said deep in the earth Wont you cover me with pretty lies Bury my heart at wounded knee We got these energy companies Who want to take the land And we got churches by the dozens Trying to guide our hands And turn our mother earth Over to pollution war and greed No no Bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart at wounded knee I said deep in the earth Bury my heart at wounded knee Wont you cover me with pretty lies Bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart at wounded knee We got the federal marshalls We got the covert spies We got the liars by fire And the fbi They lie in court and get nailed And still leonard peltier goes off to jail (the bullets dont match the gun) Bury my heart at wounded knee An eighth of the reservation Bury my heart at wounded knee Was transferred in secret Bury my heart at wounded knee We got your murder and intimidation Bury my heart at wounded knee My girlfriend anna may Talked about uranium Her head was full of bullets And her body dumped The fbi cut off her hands And told us she died of exposure To bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart at wounded knee I said deep in the earth Bury my heart at wounded knee Wont you cover me with your pretty lies Bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart at wounded knee Talk about a revolution They stole my land They wont steal my soul We had the gold rush wars Why didnt we learn to crawl? And now our history gets written in a liars scrawl They tell me "dont be so uptight I mean honey you can still be an indian Down at the y on saturday night Bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart at wounded knee I said deep in the earth Bury my heart at wounded knee Wont you cover me with your pretty lies Bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart at wounded knee Bury my heart It was an eighth of the reservation Bury my heart Yeah was transferred in secret Bury my heart Got your murder, murder, murder and intimidation Bury me Bury me Bury me Bury my heart Bury my heart Bury my heart Bury my heart |
