They fail to understand
\nAnd they truly fail to care
\nThey never knew the indigenous
\nWere really ever there
\n300 abandoned hard rock mines
\nThe upper animus sites
\nPrivate federal and state land
\nAnd now of course it blights<\/p>\n
The future for these people
\nWho farm and live their lives
\nThe bureaucratic negligence
\nThey still ride with long knives
\nHeavy metals contaminate
\nThe river that they use
\nLead and arsenic and so much more
\nObama does abuse<\/p>\n
The great Navajo Nation
\nSitting on your hands
\nThe EPA and all the rest
\nThey do not win many fans
\nAmerica can send its drones
\nAnd million of dollars to
\nKill and maim the people
\nSo what does it plan to do<\/p>\n
In Silverton Colorado
\nForested valleys where
\nFamilies work their butts off
\nAnd the Navajo all share
\nThe bounty for their children
\nAnd the pollen of the corn
\nThey are so dedicated
\nBut now their hearts are torn<\/p>\n
A’sunder they are broken
\nAll they worked at looks to be
\nRuined by these mine workings
\nBack in history
\nToxic waste is flowing
\nThe earth’s bowels choking smell
\nHas reached the animus river
\nBringing with it Hell<\/p>\n
Farmers need to irrigate
\nPeople need to drink
\nThey farm to enrich their lives each day
\nAnd now are on the brink
\nThe EPA has taken blame
\nBut hasn’t done a thing
\n“Talk it doesn’t cook the rice”
\nAnd it doesn’t bring<\/p>\n
Anyone to their senses
\nFor what we have here we
\nCan see the great tsunami
\nOf absolute agony
\nIts hitting the indigenous
\nThe tribes who work away
\nKeeping the sanity in the earth
\nEvery single day<\/p>\n
The great mother
\nReturns the favour
\nRespect is what they do
\nAmerica shows scant respect
\nThe tears flow which is true
\nEach family will be lost
\nAnd this great nation will feel sore
\nOur mother must be respected
\nHer love we shan’t ignore<\/p>\n
Erin Brockavitch is on the case now
\nHer spirit and her wise heart hopefully
\nWill get some movement from the various committees
\nAnd hope her contamination levels plea
\nIs heard and acted upon for its essential
\nThis purgatorial mass cuts through the hope
\nThese people are the backbone of existence
\nAnd with this evil nobody could cope<\/p>\n
FEMA have denied them emergency cover
\nWith carcinogens now flushing through their fields
\nWhere is Obama hiding in the white house
\nWhat the hell does he know about yields
\nAbout feeding a community of people
\nEverything is brought now to his door
\nAnd these brave people were the first of many
\nTo manage and respect all natural law<\/p>\n
They sculpted out a future for the earth we see
\nSuch work they did preparing as they go
\nTo find their livelihood destroyed and poisoned
\nThe bowels have opened and the shit does flow
\nAmerica must stand by its commitment
\nTo help its people stand up and be seen
\nThe indigenous first people are their saviours
\nThey have served their masters and have remained green<\/p>\n
Crops are their reliance and their income
\nSpiritually their ceremonies all try
\nTo re balance the world that they inherited
\nNot sit about and not just wait to die
\nSacred offerings its their tradition
\nHanded down respect ancestors who
\nTook these rocks and carved them into treasure
\nWith broken backs they all worked long and true<\/p>\n
Now look around the vast kept fields of plenty
\nExcruciating torrents rumble on
\nA Filthy dirty toxic soup of ugliness
\nThe hope they worked their lives for
\nAll but gone
\nTheir tears their heart break all their sweat
\nAnd vibrance
\nLost in these great clouds of puke and more
\nThe Navajo are fighting for their survival
\nAnd Their enemy are the same as they were before<\/p>\n
We must stand with our sisters and brothers
\nAnd fight for what is right
