Indian Wars - Bruce Cockburn[00:00:00]
Out in the desert where the wind never stops[00:00:39]
A few simple people try to grow a few crops[00:00:47]
Trying to maintain a life and a home[00:00:57]
On land that was theirs before the Romans thought of Rome[00:01:06]
A few dozen survivors ragged but proud[00:01:18]
With a few woolly sheep under gathering cloud[00:01:26]
It's never been easy or free from strife[00:01:36]
But the pulse of the land is the pulse of their life[00:01:46]
You thought it was over but it's just like before[00:01:56]
Will there never be an end to the Indian wars [00:02:07]
You thought it was over but it's just like before[00:02:16]
Will there never be an end to the Indian wars [00:02:27]
It's not breech-loading rifles and wholesale slaughter[00:02:55]
It's kickbacks and thugs and diverted water[00:03:05]
Treaties get signed and the papers change hands[00:03:15]
But they might as well draft these agreements in sand[00:03:24]
Noble Savage on the cinema screen[00:03:35]
An Indian's good when he cannot be seen[00:03:44]
And the so-called white so-called race[00:03:53]
Digs for itself a pit of disgrace[00:04:04]
You thought it was over but it's just like before[00:04:14]
Will there never be an end to the Indian wars [00:04:24]
You thought it was over but it's just like before[00:04:33]
Will there never be an end to the Indian wars [00:04:45]
Will there never be an end to the Indian wars [00:04:55]
