It's My Way 03:56 |

I'm cutting my own way thru my own day
and all I dare say is it's my own
I got my own seeds I got my own weeds
I got my own harvest that I've sown
Now I can tell you things I've done
and I can sing you songs I've sung
But there's one thing I can't give
for I and I alone can live
the years I've known and the life I've grown
I got a way I'm going and it's my way
I've got my own stakes in my own game
I got my own name and it's my way
I got my own wrong I've got my own right
I've got my own fight and it's my way
I've got my own peace I've got my own wrath
I've got my own path that only I can go
I've got my own sword in my own hand
I've got my own plan that only I can know
Don't be crying don't be sighing
Your day will come your day alone
Years you'll know and a life you'll grow
Got a way to go and it's all on your own
I've got my own world I've got my own strife
I've got my own life and it's my way
I've got my own kith I've got my own kin
I've got my own sin and it's my way
I've got my own prayers I've got my own fears
I've got my own tears and it's my way
I've got my own joy I've got my own load
I've got my own road and it's my way
The years I've known and the life I've grown
Got a way I'm going and it's my way
Don't be crying don't be sighing
Your day will come your day alone
Put down the story of what I've known
You're bound for a glory all of your own
Put down the story of what I say
You're bound for glory all on your own one day |

Power in the Blood 04:03 |

GMO GMO has got to go
Power in the blood Power in the blood
No time for spin-doctors' medicine
Corporation government selling me some cover-up
Weaponizing pesticides; poison in my groceries
Nothing but another drug, a license they can buy and sell
I don't mind dying
Well I don't mind dying
I don't mind dying
But when that call it comes I will say no no no to war
No time for backhanded compliments
From television anchor men desperate for an incident
Real estate assassins exploiting our predicament
Everything depends upon it being in their interests
No I don't mind dying
I don't mind dying
I don't mind dying
When that call it comes, I will say no no no to war
There is power in the blood, justice in the soul
When that call it comes, I will say no no no to war
Power in the blood, justice in the soul
When that call it comes I will say no no no to war
There's military interest, GMOs in paradise
bio-weapons high up on the call sheet
Young soldiers driving tanks
but old thieves they drive the banks
and you never see a uniform on Wall Street
There is power in the blood
I don't mind dying
I don't mind the dying
I don't mind dying
When that call it comes I will say no no no to war |

Gonna get me a sewing machine
Sew you a shirt of black
Do Not Love across the front
And all across the back
To remind me that you're not the lovin kind
To remind me that you're not the lovin kind
Gonna get me a ribbon Honey, Honey
Day glow red
Tie it around my finger Baby
Or maybe around my bed
To remind me that you're not the lovin kind
To remind me that you're not the lovin kind
I think I've learned your secret
To keep from getting burned
Love for you is a matter of no deposit and no return
Yeah Uh-I know you're not the lovin kind
Oh-h you're so heavy on my mind
Rocks in my pillow
You're putting rocks & blocks & boulders
I gotta get me a Do Not Love sign Honey
And hang it around your shoulders
To remind me that you're not the lovin kind
To remind me you're so heavy on my mind |

Love Charms (Mojo Bijoux) 04:07 |
I'm thinking up love charms cause I can't say a word
I've just got to stand and stare so far as you're concerned
Every time I let you go it's just an illusion
Looking like I don't care and trying not to show
The way I feel
I'm thinking up love charms
Love charms
Thinking up love charms
What else can I do
I got planes in my head, they're flying off everywhere
but where I want to go, wherever you are
I got to got to got to keep my head
while I'm making these changes
Making every connection between the lines
Making believe come true.
I'm thinking up love charms

Ke Sakihitin Awasis 04:09 |
He's not like a stranger he's more like a vision you'd seen
The kind of a face that you'd see on the edge of a dream
he was beaded and feathered from his head to his moccasined feet
and now you're singing
Ke sakihitin awasis
He reminds you of a legend that you had known as a child
He knew it too it was about Earth and about Sun and about Sky
Oh it was about Wolf and Coyote and Eagle and Kitchimanitou
and Wakontanka
Ke sakihitin awasis
On some reservation your purification's begun
It's the fifth generation the young and the old are as one
Singing come back to the Sweetgrass, come back to the Pipe and the Drum
and be your future

Farm in the Middle of Nowhere 02:43 |
I live on a farm in the middle of nowhere
In the country you could say
The one I love he loves me
He lovee lovee loves me
Oooo It's a beautiful day
where I come from
Top of the world
Nowhere town
I fell in love and then I settled down
and the one I love he loves me
He lovee lovee loves me
Oooo Sunshine shining
in my heart
Dream dream look at the night
Sweet ol brown eyes holding me tight
and the one I love he loves me
He lovee lovee loves me
Hoo hoo End of the rainbow
In my back yard
Dream dream look at the night
Sweet ol brown eyes holding me tight
and the one I love he loves me
He lovee lovee loves me
Hoo hoo, Kesipwayow, Aloha oe
We can grow beans
We can grow corn
We can grow smiles in the happy morning
And the one he loves he loves me
He lovee lovee loves me
Lay me down in green pastures
Oh my soul
I live on a farm in the middle of nowhere
Country you could say
The one I love he loves me
He lovee lovee loves me
End of the rainbow
where I come from.
Farm in the middle of nowhere
It's where I come from |

Generation 03:55 |

Kids were sent from heaven inside to lead you to the future
Wrap their eyes in blindfolds and still they'll find their way
Blind their lives with pills and lies and still they find their vision
And soon they leave you to your yesterday
And they sing bye bye scars of history
And bye bye bankers' trust
Aquarius is shining and the Son is one of us
And me I don't wanna go to the moon
I'm gonna leave that moon alone
I just want to dance with the Rosebud Sioux this summer
Yes, yes
The media is saturated but the Sweetgrass still grows tall
And Jesse John Blackbear talks to God in Cleveland, O-hi-yo
And Washington is joking but the Navajos are not
And Mother Earth keeps on giving while we're ripening.
I talked to seven congressmen, their ears were filled with gold
That their grandfathers had stolen out of the Black Hills
And round and round the dance goes on
and the children are Idle No More
And they will dream the dream my Mother sends to them.
And they'll sing bye bye scars of history
And bye bye bankers' trust
Aquarius is shining and the Sun is one of us
And me I don't wanna go to the moon
I'm gonna leave that moon alone
I just want to dance with the Rosebud Sioux this summer
Yes, yes, yes
Wait for me you brown-eyed man |

Sing Our Own Song 04:52 |
The great flood of tears that we've cried
For our brothers and sisters who've died
Over five hundred years has washed away our fears
And strengthened our pride, now we turn back the tide
We will no longer hear your command
We will slide your control from our lands
Re-direct the flame of our anger and pain
And pity the shame
For what you do in God's name.
We will stand for the right to be free
We will grow our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
When the ancient drum rhythms ring
The voice of our forefathers sings
The will to live will beat on, we will no longer be pawns
to greed and to war
We will be Idle No More
We will stand for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
When the ancient drum rhythms ring
The voice of our grandmothers sings
Native America run, we will no longer succumb
to oil and ore, we will be Idle No More
We will stand for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
We will teach about the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
Dance dance for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
And occupy for the right to be free
We will rebuild a just society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song

Orion 03:00 |
Wish. Star. Too far away to ever know
But if I had just one wish I'd wish for now.
Time goes by. Every day I look for you.
You are gone but in my heart I see you still.
What I know can't be so but here you are
And of all my dreams come true the best is now.
Do you see those three in the sky that shine so bright?
When I'm far away I know they'll light your night. |

The Uranium War 03:34 |
Ay ha ay ha yo Ho
There was a Cree and a Sioux and a Navajo an Arapaho and a Hopi hiyo
We were stranded, snowbound, eh-ho I don't know
Sleeping on the floor like the best of friends
Living on tea and odds and ends ah
Were we lucky? Well it all depends
There was Cordell and me and Norman Brown sittin around away from town
And me I'm listening — Hey hey Big Mountain guys
Watch the sunrise in your eyes; taking care of the Elders' pride
Hey hey Mother Earth; Hey hey Father Sky
And me I watched it grow: corporate greed and a lust for gold and
coal and oil and hey now uranium
Keep the Indians under your thumb; pray like hell when your bad times come
Hey rip em up Strip em up Get em with a gun
She was a friend of mine Annie Mae in the snows of the wintertime
We were running cross the fields of Indian land
Ducking bullets from the guns of the pale men Ay hey ay hey ahh
Patriot Woman, hunted in the land
What did you say about uranium?
She come to see me one day I was living in a little place in L.A.
She was running from the feel of the jailor's touch
Singing Heyo ha ya I think I know too much about uranium
Ay ha ay ha yo
And me I watched it grow: corporate greed and a lust for gold
and coal and oil and hey now uranium
Keep the Indians under your thumb; pray like hell when your bad times come
Hey rip em up Strip em up Get em with a gun |

Hold your head up
Lift the top of your mind
Put your eyes on the Earth
Lift your heart to your own home planet
What do you see?
What is your attitude
Are you here to improve or damn it
Look right now and you will see
we're only here by the skin of our teeth as it is
so take heart and take care of your link with Life and
Oh carry it on - We're saying
Oh carry it on - Keep playing
Oh carry it on - And praying
It ain't money that makes the world go round
That's only temporary confusion
It ain't governments that make the people strong
It's the opposite illusion
Look right now and you will see
they're only here by the skin of our teeth as it is
so take heart and take care of your link with Life
Oh carry it on - Keep saying
Oh carry it on - And playing
Oh carry it on - And praying
Look right now and you will see
we're only here by the skin of our teeth as it is

Mother Nature She's the daughter of God and the source of all protection
Look right now
and you will see she's only here by the skin of her teeth as it is
so take heart and take care of your link with Life
Oh carry it on - Keep saying
Oh carry it on - And playing
Oh carry it on - Keep on praying |
