Artist/Band: Bear Quartet
Lyrics for Song: Wounded Knee
Lyrics for Album: Moby Dick [1997]



Drunk and entwined

Along the railway line

Haven't seen you this happy

In a long time

Since the last decade

Seems all the bad bottles finally paid off

Seems all you sad lovers

Gather moss

But the sun is in the bay

Loose on a quiet day



With an endurance of three

I got down on my good knee

Good hand on the wounded

With one sentence I'd destroy it all

But nature cooled it



So call it a draw

You got your teenage memorial

And I got free alcohol

Drunk and alone

On a road called home

The story's old

But I won't let go


Wounded Knee

Released on the 1997 album Moby Dick, "Wounded Knee" is a haunting track by the Bear Quartet that exemplifies their signature blend of folk, punk, and experimental rock. The song features the group's characteristic interplay between acoustic guitars and distorted electric guitars, creating a dynamic tension that mirrors the album's broader exploration of American history and social commentary. As a key component of their discography, the recording showcases the quartet's ability to weave narrative-driven lyrics with aggressive musical textures, establishing them as a significant voice in the indie-folk revival of the late 1990s. The track remains a defining example of their work, capturing the raw energy and intellectual depth that have cemented their reputation in the music industry.
