We were all wounded at Wounded Knee, you and me!
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee, you and me,
in the name of America's destiny,
you and me, you and me, you and me !

They made us many promises, but always broke their words.
They penned us in like buffalo, drove us like a herd.
And fin'ly on the reservation, where we'd gone for our preservation,
we were all wiped out - - by the 7th Cavalry,
you and me, you and me.

We were all wounded at Wounded Knee, you and me!
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee, you and me,
in the name of America's destiny,
you and me, you and me, you and me !

Now we make our promises, we won't break our word.
We'll sing, sing, sing out our story, til the truth is heard.
There's a whole new generation, with the dream of who were not wiped out - - by the 7th Cavalry.
you and me, you and me.

We were all wounded at Wounded Knee, you and me!
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee, you and me,
We were all wounded - - - by Wounded Knee.
