American Spirit
Well hello
It's been a long time coming
And you've been absent
From our home towns down through our nations capital
At standing rock and chicago avenue
They're tearing us up
It's been over twenty years now
We're losing
The war machines getting healthier every day
Yeah! I though the american spirit was dead
No, I'm alive, the american spirit's never going to die
It's hard to keep track down on the street
Bloodied, strung out and getting beat
Been out there its heartbreak everyday
Choked, gunned, I watched them blow us away
From floyd's last breath to breonna's last day
I hear what they said
But I seen what they did
Well welcome back
I see you've been indisposed
The black snake ruining our water
The feds breaking veteran hands
I could've sworn you'd left us
Is that blood on your shirt?
Haven't you been following the news?
They claim the american spirit died
No, I'm alive, the American spirit's never going to die
And I can see the hurt and the angst down there
The deeper the hate the more they take
Mni wiconi ain't a passing fad
Five long years in red fawn's can
Old peltier's just a dying man
I hear what they said
But I seen what they did
I'm alive
It's been a long time coming
And you've been absent
From our home towns down through our nations capital
At standing rock and chicago avenue
They're tearing us up
It's been over twenty years now
We're losing
The war machines getting healthier every day
Yeah! I though the american spirit was dead
No, I'm alive, the american spirit's never going to die
It's hard to keep track down on the street
Bloodied, strung out and getting beat
Been out there its heartbreak everyday
Choked, gunned, I watched them blow us away
From floyd's last breath to breonna's last day
I hear what they said
But I seen what they did
Well welcome back
I see you've been indisposed
The black snake ruining our water
The feds breaking veteran hands
I could've sworn you'd left us
Is that blood on your shirt?
Haven't you been following the news?
They claim the american spirit died
No, I'm alive, the American spirit's never going to die
And I can see the hurt and the angst down there
The deeper the hate the more they take
Mni wiconi ain't a passing fad
Five long years in red fawn's can
Old peltier's just a dying man
I hear what they said
But I seen what they did
I'm alive
