Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee Lyrics - 1200 Curfews - Indigo Girls

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 

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 

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

Won't 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 don't 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 

Won't 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 won't steal my soul 

We had the gold rush wars 

Why didn't we learn to crawl? 

And now our history gets written in a liar's scrawl 

They tell me "don't 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 

Won't 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
