lyrics

Oh say can you see, the dead from wounded knee?
Warriors and squaws, they aint laughing no more.
Some would call it revenge for Custer, but you can call it what you want.
The brave US cavalry marches on.

You picked a fight with America
You picked a fight with the US army
What did you expect? We had no choice left.
You wounded our pride when you won.

Empty and bleak the dead at sand creek.
They shouldn’t have fought, at Little Bighorn.
We will take your dog soldiers and teach you some respect.
You beat us so what else did you expect?

These brave men and the Hotchkiss guns that the Indians thought were toys,
Together with the fighting 7th what's left of Custer's boys,
Sent those Indians to heaven which the ghost dancer enjoys.
This checked the Indian noise, and we returned to Illinois

I was at this band's first show and IIRC they played this whole demo and handed out copies. Was as visceral then as it is now. Still one of the best sets I've ever seen. Our Ghosts
