Will the eagle fly again?
Someone had to pay…
All we did was protect our tribe
We had every right to live our lives
As Lakota Sioux at Jumping Bull
Where mixed-blood goon squads
And their hollow facade
Opened fire with anti-AIM rule
So, Hey Mr. X
It’s time you went ahead
And drove your red truck
To the door of the dead
It’s time to confess your crime
Will the eagle fly again?
Someone had to pay...
So we’ll pray more with tobacco ties
And look beyond the Oglala lies
That landed LP at Leavenworth
|
Where days go by slower than the nights
Everything’s fine when he’s out of sight
Dreams of resmur, the daily curse
Chorus
Cause you stripped away the freedom
Of a just and honest man
Who aided and abetted no one
But Tunkashila and his land
Someone had to pay...
Chorus
("There isn't really anything
good or nice to say about me locked
up for almost 30 years, except
that I'm still alive"-LP)
On more than one occasion
I get a wild sensation
They shorten my duration
Elysian Reservation?
Along the Red Road
Along the Red Road...
