[Intro]
Indian legislation's on the desk of a do right Congressman
And he don't 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 what's left of the reservation
[Verse 1]
I learned the safety rule
I don't know who to thank
Don't stand between the reservation
And the corporate bank
They're sending federal tanks
It isn't nice but it's reality
[Chorus]
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
I said deep in the earth
Won't you cover me with pretty lies?
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
[Verse 2]
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
