American Ghost Dance Lyrics

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 In a sea of grief My talking leaf speaks Of a wounded knee creek
American ghost dance American ghost dance American ghost dance American ghost dance
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 That lives in my blood Of the brand you laid On all you touched
But the burning flame It turns to burning pain A 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
American ghost dance American ghost dance American ghost dance American ghost dance
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 In a sea of grief My talking leaf speaks Of a wounded knee creek
American ghost dance American ghost dance American ghost dance American ghost dance
American ghost dance American ghost dance American ghost dance
