There we were, living on our island in the sunLife was so easy, there was plenty for everyone'Long come a white man who saw the milk and honeyNow we're making due while he's making all the moneyOh no, not a Wounded KneeAnother wheel stops rollingOh no, not a Wounded Knee againThere we were, living in our village in the treesWe were minding our own business,We were doing as we please'Long came a white man with attitudes and axesNow we're doing overtime and paying lots of taxes(Chorus)The promises and gifts he bringsIn honor of the songs he singsAre tearing us apartWe were pow-wowing to our hearts contentWe had the great spirit, we didn't need a president'Long came a white man from the civilised nationsNow he ain't having second thoughtsBut we've got reservationsOh no, not a Wounded KneeAnother wheel stops rollingOh no, not a Wounded KneeAnother bell starts tollingOh no, not a Wounded KneeAnother people starts callingOh no, not a Wounded Knee again
