KILL THE MAN, SAVE THE INDIAN

[Verse 1]

Bloodshed millions dead

Colonization systematic death

White lies are what we always read

Government control and your Jesus bread

Their justification to cleanse a nation

Saying cultures and lives aren't worth the saving

But if you submit to god and authority, you’ll be safe in heaven

Kill the man, save the indian

Masacured feared we'd burn

Each cowboy got his turn

Every corporation got its turn

Washington laughed while the women burned

Confined to reservations generation after generation

First, they shot at us with guns to kill and killed the spirit with re-education

Kill the man, save the indian

All the deaths and all the screams

Buried beneath your American dream

Subordinate the indigenous

Make room for the machine

As you wave your red, white, and blue

On stolen land controlled by the few

Remember the history

Remember the misery

Kill the man, save the indian
