[Spoken: Emily]
We're gonna do a song that we learned. It's written by Buffy Sainte-Marie. It's called "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee."
[Intro]
Indian legislation's on the desk of a do right Congressman
Now 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
They're 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
Deep in the earth
I said cover me with pretty lies
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
[Verse 2]
They got these energy companies
Who want to take the land
And they got churches by the dozens
Trying to guide our hands
And sign our Mother Earth
Over to pollution war and greed
Well
