A handful of people prayed by the river
on ancestral ground
Protectors of the earth, air and water,
in peace they gathered round
Spirit Resistance Radio,
School and Market where you can go
Cook shack, showers, first aid tent,
music and horses, resident
Dakota Access Security
think they're 7th Cavalry
Bull Connor and his deputies,
Birmingham in '63.
Pipeline caterpillar blade
is destroying prairie loam
Just like caterpillar blade
is destroying Palestine home
This story's generations' old,
Baaken oil, uranium, gold
In Standing Rock and Cannonball.
They'll keep taking till they take it all.
From Crazy Horse to Leonard Peltier,
armored cars and riot gear
They won't drive us away with fear…
Wounded Knee whispers in my ear
Obama says his strategy,
authority of TPP
Hillary has nothing to say:
she wants that pipeline comin' our way.
Jill Stein came and signed her name
won't be part of the corporate shame.
Extinction's coming with oil and gas,
Seven generations on,
say this pipeline, ain't gonna pass.
At Standing Rock we stand our ground
soldiers, cops and dogs surround
Tear my skin and burn my face…
We ain't gonna leave this place
Treaties broken repeatedly,
1851 Ft Laramie
Dog attackers all go free,
but arrest us for corn and willow trees
The constitution's been replaced
by shotguns, handcuffs, clubs and mace
A tank and chopper circling round
body slamming to the ground.
LRADS & MRAPS, concussion grenades,
a US military invades
Shooting horses and tasers apparently
are ok with Obama and HRC
From Crazy Horse to Leonard Peltier,
armored cars and riot gear
They won't drive us away with fear…
Wounded Knee echoes in my ear.
You can tear my skin and burn my face,
We ain't gonna leave this place…
