Bonneville movie - Wounded Knee lyrics

rate me

Song by Nik Kershaw<br /><br>

There we were, living on our island in the sun<br>

Life was so easy, there was plenty for everyone<br>

'Long come a white man who saw the milk and honey<br>

Now we're making due while he's making all the money<br>

<br>

Oh no, not a Wounded Knee<br>

Another wheel stops rolling<br>

Oh no, not a Wounded Knee again<br>

<br>

There we were, living in our village in the trees<br>

We were minding our own business,<br>

We were doing as we please<br>

'Long came a white man with attitudes and axes<br>

Now we're doing overtime and paying lots of taxes<br>

<br>

(Chorus)<br>

<br>

The promises and gifts he brings<br>

In honor of the songs he sings<br>

Are tearing us apart<br>

<br>

We were pow-wowing to our hearts content<br>

We had the great spirit, we didn't need a president<br>

'Long came a white man from the civilised nations<br>

Now he ain't having second thoughts<br>

But we've got reservations<br>

<br>

Oh no, not a Wounded Knee<br>

Another wheel stops rolling<br>

Oh no, not a Wounded Knee<br>

Another bell starts tolling<br>

Oh no, not a Wounded Knee<br>

Another people starts calling<br>

Oh no, not a Wounded Knee again<br>
