[Verse] Indian legislation on the desk of a do-right Congressman Now he don’t know much about the issue so he picks up the phone and he asks advice from the Senator out in Indian country A darling of the energy companies who are ripping off what’s left of the reservations. Huh. [Pre-Chorus] I learned a safety rule I don’t know who to thank Don’t stand between the reservation and the corporate bank They send in federal tanks It isn’t nice but it’s reality [Chorus] Bury my heart at Wounded Knee     Deep in the Earth     Cover me with pretty lies     bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh.    [Verse] They got these energy companies that want the land and they’ve got churches by the dozen who want to guide our hands and sign Mother Earth over to pollution war and greed [Chorus] Bury my heart at Wounded Knee     Deep in the Earth     Cover me with pretty lies     bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh.    [Verse] We got the federal marshals We got the covert spies We got the liars by the fire We got the FBIs They lie in court and get nailed and still Peltier goes off to jail [Chorus] Bury my heart at Wounded Knee     Deep in the Earth     Cover me with pretty lies     bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh.    [Verse] My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped The FBI cut off her hands and told us she’d died of exposure [Chorus] Bury my heart at Wounded Knee     Deep in the Earth     Cover me with pretty lies     bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh..   [Verse] We had the Goldrush Wars Aw didn’t we learn to crawl and still our history gets written in a liar’s scrawl They tell ’ya “Honey you can still be an Indian d-d-down at the ’Y’ on Saturday nights” [Chorus] Bury my heart at Wounded Knee     Deep in the Earth     Cover me with pretty lies     bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh.
