[Verse 1]

We all see in black and white

When it comes to someone else's fight

No one ever gets involved

Apathy can never solve


[Pre-Chorus]

Forced out, brave and mighty

Stolen land, they can't fight it

Hold on to pride and tradition

Even though they know how much their lives are really missing

We're dissing them

On reservations

A hopeless situation


[Verse 2]

Respect is something that you earn

Our Indian brothers' getting burned

Original American

Turned into a second class citizen


[Pre-Chorus]

Forced out, brave and mighty

Stolen land, they can't fight it

Hold on to pride and tradition

Even though they know how much their lives are really missing

We're dissing them

On reservations

A hopeless situation


[Chorus]

Cry for the Indians, oh

Die for the Indians

Cry for the Indians

Oh, cry, cry, cry for the Indians


[Verse 3]

Love the land and fellow man

Peace is what we strive to have

Some folks have none of this

Hatred and prejudice


[Pre-Chorus]

Forced out, brave and mighty

Stolen land, they can't fight it

Hold on to pride and tradition

Even though they know how much their lives are really missing

We're dissing them

On reservations

A hopeless situation


[Chorus]

Cry for the Indians

Die for the Indians

Cry for the Indians

Cry, cry, cry for the Indians


[Bridge]

War dance

Territory it's just the body of the nation

The people that inhabit it make its configuration

Prejudice, something we all can do without

A flag of many colors is what this land's all about


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 1]

We all see in black and white

When it comes to someone else's fight

No one ever gets involved, no one

Apathy can never solve


[Pre-Chorus]

Forced out, brave and mighty

Stolen land, they can't fight it

Hold on to pride and tradition

Even though they know how much their lives are really missing

We're dissing them

On reservations

A hopeless situation


[Chorus]

Cry for the Indians

Die for the Indians

Cry for the Indians

Cry, cry, cry for the Indians
