ten years since
the trouble commenced
and the white tribes
bled their blame
into the rivers
that flowed like silver
across indian plains
tear down the trails
to build a great white way
dont even try to justify it
you've got nothing to say
laying rail cross indian graves
broken backs breaking legs
lasting low near pasco
where robins are selling robin's eggs
three mothers three pities
three clouds pinching three cities
some have drowned in the fountains
some have gone into the mountains
try to survive, sisters and brothers
what happened to the others?
sickness in the valley and prairie
the earth has turned to rock where they are buried
tear down the trails
to build a great white way
dont even try to justify it
you've got nothing to say
