Wounded (Solo Acoustic)

[Verse 1]

There we were, living on our island in the sun

Life was so easy, there was plenty for everyone

'Long come a white man who saw the milk and honey

Now we're making due while he's making all the money

[Chorus]

Oh no, not a wounded knee

Another wheel starts rolling!

Oh no, not a wounded knee, again

[Verse 2]

There we were, living in our village in the trees

We were minding our own business

We were doing as we please

'Long came a white man with attitudes and axes

Now we're doing overtime and paying lots of taxes

[Chorus]

Oh no, not a wounded knee

Another bell starts tolling!

Oh no, not a wounded knee, again

[Bridge]

The promises and gifts he brings

The honor of the songs he sings

Are tearing us apart!

[Keyboard solo]

The promises and gifts he brings

The honor of the songs he sings

Are tearing us apart!

[Verse 3]

We were pow-wowing to our hearts content

We had the great spirit, we didn't need a president

'Long came a white man from the civilised nations

Now he ain't having second thoughts

But we've got reservations

[Chorus]

Oh no, not a wounded knee

Another wheel stops rolling

Oh no, not a wounded knee

Another bell starts tolling

Oh no, not a wounded knee

Another people start calling

Oh no, not a wounded knee, again!

Oh no, not a wounded knee, again!
