Red Hot Chili Peppers - American Ghost Dance lyrics

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
And the death of a race is a game
Where seldom is heard, a peaceable word
From the white trash who killed as they came
Though these words dig deep
They offer no relief
A-God save the queen, I am an Indian chief
There is a secret I keep
It's called the talking leaf
And you better believe that
He speaks his beliefs
Like a rock that bleeds a sea of grief
My talking leaf speaks of
A wounded knee creek

Today a new man who is with old ways
He walks the streets of life
But he's in chains
"I'm alive, " he cried, "I can feel the flame
Burning red inside, I am an Indian brave
There is a memory, uh huh
That lives in my blood
Of the brand you laid on all you touched
But the burning flame
It turns to burning pain
Genuine genocide and that's truly insane
So like a wild hurricane
I will dance on the grave
Of my race that died when
It should have been saved"

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
And the death of a race is a game
Where seldom is heard, a peaceable word
From the white trash who killed as they came
Though these words dig deep
They offer no relief
God save the queen, I am an Indian chief
There is a secret I keep
It's called the talking leaf
And you better believe that
He speaks his beliefs
Like a rock that bleeds a sea of grief
My talking leaf speaks of
A wounded knee creek
