Reservation Blues

Wanted to be here 20 years ago
Realised I couldn't make it alone
Selected all the people that I wanna be near
Watched in horror as they disappeared
Hey hey Moses! What do you know? Your only aid is the people you know
Hey Rhiannon! I'm glad you're alive- you're our community and we need to thrive
Way up on the prairie met a native man
He took our community and we took his land
We gave them Winnebagos out on the plain
Reservation blues are always the same
Peace in the valley the valley above
Peace in the valley the valley of love
Fire on the hillside and blood on our hands
Smoke in our jackets, we fire on command
So cut negociations and head into town-
There'll be a massacre in Newfoundland!
Virtue is the veil that we've had all along
They can't speak English :. they must be wrong!
