Five Iron Frenzy - The Day We Killed lyrics

rate me

The Day We Killed

Into mass graves we'e 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

Chorus:

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.

I can still see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered, all along the crooked gulch. And i can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, it was burried in the blizzard. Our peoples dream died there, it was a beautiful dream
