Remains in Me (Anders/O'Bitz © 2011)

Bitter frost
They try to keep warm
Wet blankets worn over heads

At what cost
Guns pointed down
So many innocents dead

What remains in me
Of manifest destiny
Why give medals of honor
For Wounded Knee

Pine Ridge wars
Dick Wilson's thugs
Backed by thugs of the Feds

And what for
Guns pointed up
More dead at Jumping Bull Ranch

What remains in me
Of manifest destiny
Why give medals of honor
For Wounded Knee

Have we lost
Wind Chases the Sun
Continues his mournful ghost dance

And we're taught
The aboriginal sin
On which our divided state stands

What remains in me
Of manifest destiny
What chance of honor
For genocide's progeny

What remains in me
Of manifest destiny
What chance of honor
For genocide's progeny
