Wounded Knee — текст песни (Nik Kershaw)





There we were, living on our island in the sun
Life was so easy, there was plenty for everyone
`Long come a white man who saw the milk and honey
Now we`re making due while he`s making all the money

Oh no, not a Wounded Knee
Another wheel stops rolling
Oh no, not a Wounded Knee again

There we were, living in our village in the trees
We were minding our own business,
We were doing as we please
`Long came a white man with attitudes and axes
Now we`re doing overtime and paying lots of taxes

(Chorus)

The promises and gifts he brings
In honor of the songs he sings
Are tearing us apart

We were pow-wowing to our hearts content
We had the great spirit, we didn`t need a president
`Long came a white man from the civilised nations
Now he ain`t having second thoughts
But we`ve got reservations

Oh no, not a Wounded Knee
Another wheel stops rolling
Oh no, not a Wounded Knee
Another bell starts tolling
Oh no, not a Wounded Knee
Another people starts calling
Oh no, not a Wounded Knee again
