Humanifesto - Death By Exposure lyrics
rate meShe lay there for weeks before they found her.<br />
Bury her as Jane Doe; send her hands to match for prints<br />
And lie about the cause of death to halt investigations<br />
You can't miss a bullet hole unless you look the other way<br />
<br />
She came to protest, to make her voice heard<br />
And fight against corruption tearing up her nation<br />
Pine Ridge cover-up. Silence those who don't agree<br />
The Bureau's walls still shake when someone says her name<br />
<br />
Anna Mae. Her story lives on.<br />
The Host World rises to take back what is theirs<br />
<br />
Thirty years have passed and this case isn't solved<br />
Hidden in a mass of lies, will the truth ever prevail?<br />
Buried for the third time and they won't let her rest<br />
She's a martyr to the white man, a symbol of resistance<br />
<br />
Looking for a scapegoat and pointing fingers back and forth<br />
To divert our attention, as they've always done<br />
In hope of once again, once again getting away<br />
With murdering an innocent and spilling blood across the land<br />
<br />
Wounded Knee. Your earth is soiled<br />
With the blood of innocents and the powder from our guns<br />
<br />
The sands of time are on an endless loop<br />
The repeated lies believed as truths<br />
Three decades passed, she's now back home<br />
Three decades passed, her killers never found<br />
Justice won't ever be served<br />
They'll never get what they deserved<br />
It's easier to get away when the ones out looking are your friends<br />
<br />
"March, 1976... Sioux elders say the winds always howl<br />
When the body of a murder victim is moved.<br />
During the traditional wake and funeral given Anna Mae Pictou Aquash<br />
The week-end of March 12, 1976, a storm peaked<br />
Sending 30-mile-per-hour winds blasting across the desolate fields<br />
And shaking the rickety Jumping Bull Hall where the wake was being held."
