Sharp Knife
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
White men lied through the color of teeth
Didn't care about his treaties or keeping the peace
It never mattered how hard you adopted his ways
The color of your skin only numbered your days
An endless trail of tears to separate
You from the land that he eyed to take
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
From endless days across this land
The same tale unfolds against man against man
To put one up and keep one down
Is a wicked way to live out our own fates
As we cut our flesh to eradicate
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
As low as ours
As low as ours
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
White men lied through the color of teeth
Didn't care about his treaties or keeping the peace
It never mattered how hard you adopted his ways
The color of your skin only numbered your days
An endless trail of tears to separate
You from the land that he eyed to take
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
From endless days across this land
The same tale unfolds against man against man
To put one up and keep one down
Is a wicked way to live out our own fates
As we cut our flesh to eradicate
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
One day your head must bow
As low as ours
As low as ours
