How many times must we tell them   Are they never gonna learn      How many times must we tell them   Are they never gonna learn   That this is sacred ground, sacred ground   How many times must we tell them   Are they never gonna learn   That this is sacred ground, sacred ground      For all those trying to make a stand   Fighting to save their, tribal land   For all those trying to make a stand   Dying to protect their tribal land   For all those dying to protect their tribal land      Rainbow warrior, Chico Mendez   All the dissidents that they tried to suppress      How many more martyrs must there be   Will this be our poisoned legacy      How many times must us tell them   Are they never gonna learn   That this is sacred ground, sacred ground   How many times we must tell them   Are they never gonna learn   That this is sacred ground, sacred ground      For those who lie before the bulldozers   And chainsaws   Battling the devouring mega corps   Here they come with their cash draws grins   Vampires, parasites and vermin      How many times must we tell you   Are you never gonna learn   That this is sacred ground, sacred ground   How many times must we tell you   Are you never gonna learn   That this is sacred ground, sacred ground      How many times, how many times
