Lyrics
Bury my heart down at Wounded Knee
Bone deep in the marrow
Of this country
There are no first settlers
What's done was done
Bound to recover and
Heal the hollow sun
Terrorize
Terrorized
American Soul
Who are we to be?
Hamilton or Jefferson?
What kind of economy?
November 22nd 1963
What does it mean?
To be free,
In a material society
Take things for granted (while we don't vote)
Spoiled, gotta' have (other countries seem remote)
Choose it and use it
And throw it away
We've dished it out with a ladle
Blood, oil and hypocrisy
Darkness round our puppet dictators,
And their overthrown democracies
Terrorize
Terrorized!
Terrorize
Terrorized!
