So You Want To Be An Indian

歌曲歌詞

So you want to be an Indian an original American

Ride a horse wild and free put war paint on your skin

You think my life's a story like a movie on TV

But if you want a taste of Hell on earth

Come hang around with me

So you want to be an Indian out where the buffalo roam

A peaceful place on planet earth that you can call your home

Where streams of crystal waters once flowed with red man's pride

But they've disappeared like forgotten dreams

That have gone away and died

So you want to be an Indian living on the land

That was stolen from our grandpa by dear old Uncle Sam

Who sent soldier after soldier to tell us what was right

But politicians nor their armies can turn an Indian white

So you want to be an Indian can you say "poverty"

If the great white hope in Washington would send what belongs to me

I'd have blankets in the winter

I wouldn't have to be so cold

And have something to eat besides government cheese

To feed my hungry soul

So you want to be an Indian a noble honored chief

And try to walk a holy road in dignity and peace

Hold the vision of America in the palm of your hand
