D-Em-C-G
D-Em-C-G
Gun squads got whatever they wanted
On Pine Ridge
Dickie Wilson the only law and order
Sat back and watched while over 100 were murdered
He'd made his bed with the government man
Taking everything he could for himself, his family and
friends
And he didn't want those longhairs on his reservation
They were always causing trouble and instigating
So he waged his war of intimidation
On his poverty stricken reservation
While the government destroys what won^Òt be bought
When the whites first came to the Black Hills for the gold
Now the corporations steal the uranium and coal
They destroyed the land and the traditional ways
And you can^Òt drink the water, you better not stand in the way
On Pine Ridge
On Pine Ridge
This is a song of freedom
While the eagle soars in the endless blue sky
For the innocent, wrongly imprisoned
This is a song of freedom
The government man hate the color of your skin and your ?dogshined?
reservation
No reasons why those two FBI were on Oglala land chasing that red van
And the FBI admit Leonard Peltier did not commit the killings that have
kept
him 20 years in prison
This is a song of freedom
No explanations why those two FBI were on Oglala land chasing that red
van
Well maybe because Dickie Wilson was in Washington selling uranium to
the
American nightmare
As the people striving 2 FBI were lying dead in a pasture
Williams and Collier
Caught in a crossfire
Dino Butler and ??Bob Roberdobo?? got tried and acquitted
And the case against Jimmy Eagle was so weak it never got prosecuted
So they set their sights on the last chance of a conviction
with a ??record?? eye-witness and a legal extradition
Leonard Peltier had fled across the border to southern Alberta
The Canadian government was far too eager
And in awe of their elected copkiller
There's a few that know the truth this morning in Oglala
They^Òre as silent as the land, as silent as Williams and Collier
They^Òre as silent as the eagle in the endless blue sky
They^Òre as silent as the sun, she's been watching such a long time
Cause it^Òs a sacred mind of ???? that's brought to the ?????
Leonard Peltier's rule divided the land
And the soldiers came to protect their own
With the promises of peace and the land that they stole
And they murdered Crazy Horse killed off the buffalo
Since yesterday and today and all of tomorrow
There^Òs a silence in the land, there^Òs a sadness in the people
But life goes on, it's the same as it's always done
On Pine Ridge
On Pine Ridge
solo (over D-Em-C-G)
This is a song of freedom
While the eagle soars in the endless blue sky
For the innocent, wrongly imprisoned
This is a song of freedom
