I was a red man   I was proud, I was strong   You were the white man   And you stole away my home      Now I am a wooden Indian   Painted dreams inside my head   Time's the way you bring me down   Make me wish that I was dead      Na na na na na, na   Na na na na na   Na na na na na, na   Na na na na na      I was a red man   In my passing made no sound   You were the white man   And you drove me in the ground      Now I am a wooden Indian   Standing silent in the rain   Swear by my grandfather's father   We're gonna rise again      Na na na na na na   Na na na na na   Na na na na na na   Na na na na na      I was a red man   I was proud, I was strong   You were the white man   And you stole away my home      Now I am a wooden Indian   Standing silent in the rain   Swear by my grandfather's father   We're gonna rise again
