I know how much the indigenous
\nLove their horses, so
\nTo ride his into the battlefield
\nSays what I wish to know
\nRemember the man in front of the tank
\nIn Beijing well I saw
\nThat man again in America
\nTaking on the law<\/p>\n
The affection was a quality
\nTempered and inborn
\nThis was not of the moment
\nIn both cases their dawn
\nAwakened all who saw them
\nThe responsiveness we felt
\nUtter understanding
\nThe right cards had been dealt
\nB
\nThe robo cops the armoured cars
\nThe standoff bold and true
\nA lone rider on his thoroughbred
\nKnows what he must do
\nWe feel his intense love affair
\nWith the land and with the soil
\nWith the river and the water of life
\nAnd with the toil<\/p>\n
500 years of slavery
\nOf land given and taken away
\nBoarding schools and reservations
\nAnd uranium it did pay
\nOn his heart and his warriors hearts
\nAnd all the hearts that knew
\nWhat successive Anerican governments
\nWere prepared to do<\/p>\n
It all came back the thunder
\nOf it shattering our ears
\nThe indigenous their prayer sticks
\nAnd of course their fears
\nBut one man took it upon himself
\nTo ride out there and be
\nFacing the curious onslaught
\nOf the cops that he could see<\/p>\n
Stationed just a way from him
\nReady to attack
\nThere was no rhyme or reason
\nBut they all enjoyed a whack
\nAt innocent protectors
\nBrainwashed arses they
\nWere decked out in their armour
\nAnd going to make all pay<\/p>\n
But he was not a martyr
\nMore a soldier of the cause
\nHis valour it was obvious
\nWith no reason to pause
\nHe stood his ground
\nHe eyed them
\nAnd would have fought them well
\nOne against an army
\nAnd that army from Hell<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
