The Day We Killed
Into mass graves we've shoveled lives
A massive pipeline for the lies
A past so vast with genocide
And ignorance we hide behind
You say that we are done with this
Turn blind eyes and still dismiss
Chalk it up as something passed
And still create a lower caste
Life cries
Lies, lies
The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride
On broken backs we build empires
Twisting spines for the steeple spires
How many people can you kill?
Look at your 20 dollar bill
Do you see third world poverty
Inside the lines of your country?
And now to treaties we are loyal
But tear them up when we smell oil
Life cries
Lies, lies
The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride
The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride
I can still see the butchered women and children
Lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch
And I can see that something else died there
In the bloody mud and was burried in the blizzard
Our people's dream died there
It was a beautiful dream
The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride
The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride
A massive pipeline for the lies
A past so vast with genocide
And ignorance we hide behind
You say that we are done with this
Turn blind eyes and still dismiss
Chalk it up as something passed
And still create a lower caste
Life cries
Lies, lies
The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride
On broken backs we build empires
Twisting spines for the steeple spires
How many people can you kill?
Look at your 20 dollar bill
Do you see third world poverty
Inside the lines of your country?
And now to treaties we are loyal
But tear them up when we smell oil
Life cries
Lies, lies
The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride
The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride
I can still see the butchered women and children
Lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch
And I can see that something else died there
In the bloody mud and was burried in the blizzard
Our people's dream died there
It was a beautiful dream
The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride
The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride
