It's My Way
|
|
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

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 |

Not the Lovin' Kind

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 |

Ke Sakihitin Awasis
|
|
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 Ke sakihitin awasis |

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

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
|
|
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 Amandla a-way-thu |

Orion

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

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 |
