The Day We Killed

Into mass graves we've shoveled lives

A massive pipeline for the lies

A past so vast with genocide

And ignorance we hide behind

You say that we are done with this

Turn blind eyes and still dismiss

Chalk this up as something passed

And still create a lower caste



Lies, lies, lies, lies



The way you live shows no remorse

For the day, the day we killed Crazy Horse

Innocence with glassy eyes

Kill the nation, steal their pride



On broken backs we build empires

Twisting spines for the steeple spires

How many people can you kill?

Look at your twenty dollar bill

Do you see third world poverty

Inside the lines of your country?

And now to treaties we are loyal

But tear them up when we smell oil



Lies, lies, lies, lies



The way you live shows no remorse

For the day, the day we killed Crazy Horse

Innocence with glassy eyes

Kill the nation, steal their pride



And I can see the butchered

Women and children lying deep and

Scattered all along the crooked gulch

And I can see there's something else

Died there in the bloody mud,

It was buried in the blizzard,

A people's dream died there,

It was a beautiful dream



The way you live shows no remorse

For the day, the day we killed Crazy Horse

Innocence with glassy eyes

Kill the nation, steal their pride



The way you live shows no remorse

For the day, the day we killed Crazy Horse

Innocence with glassy eyes

Kill the nation, steal their pride
