American Ghost Dance - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Give me a home

Where the buffalo roam

And the death

Of a race is a game

Where seldom is heard

A peaceable word

From the white trash

Who killed as they came

Though these words dig deep

They offer no relief

God save the queen

I am an Indian Chief

There is a secret I keep

It's called 'The Talking Leaf'

And you better believe

That he speaks his beliefs

Like a rock that bleeds

In a sea of grief

My talking leaf speaks

Of a wounded knee creek

Today a new man

Who is with old ways

He walks the streets of life

But he's in chains

? I'm alive?, he cried

I can feel the flame

Burning red inside

I am an Indian brave

There is a memory

That lives in my blood

Of the brand you laid

On all you touched

But the burning flame

It turns to burning pain

A genuine genocide

And that's truly insane

So like a wild hurricane

I will dance on the grave

Of my race that died

When it should have been saved

Give me a home

Where the buffalo roam

And the death

Of a race is a game

Where seldom is heard

A peaceable word

From the white trash

Who killed as they came

Though these words dig deep

They offer no relief

God save the queen

I am an Indian chief

There is a secret I keep

It's called 'The Talking Leaf'

And you better believe

That he speaks his beliefs

Like a rock that bleeds

In a sea of grief

My talking leaf speaks

Of a wounded knee creek
