The Uranium War

[Non-Lyrical Intro]

[Verse 1]
There was a Cree, and a Sioux, and a Navajo, an Arapaho, and a Hopi-hiyo
We were stranded, snowbound, ayy-ho, well, I don't know
Sleeping on the floor like the best of friends
Living on tea and odds and ends, ah
Were we lucky? Now, it all depends

[Pre-Chorus]
There was Cordell, and me, and Norman Brown sittin' around away from town
And me I'm listening, hey, ho, big mountain guys
Watch the sunrise in your eyes, taking care of the elders' pride
Hey, hey, Mother Earth, hey, hey, Father Sky

[Chorus]
And me, I-I watched it grow, corporate greed and a lust for gold
And coal and oil and hey, now uranium
Keep the Indians under your thumb, pray like hell when your bad times come
Hey rip 'em up, strip 'em up, get 'em with a gun

[Verse 3]
She was a friend of mine, Annie Mae in the snows of the wintertime
We were running 'cross the fields of Indian land
Ducking bullets from the guns of a pale man, oh-woah-woah
Patriot woman, hunted in the land
What did you say about uranium?

[Pre-Chorus]
She come to see me one day, I was living in a little place in L.A.
She was running from the feel of the jailer's touch
Singing, "He-yo, ha-yo, I think I know too much about uranium"

[Non-Lyrical Bridge]

[Chorus]
And me I watched it grow, corporate greed and a lust for gold
And coal and oil and hey, now uranium
Keep the Indians under your thumb, pray like hell when your bad times come
Hey rip 'em up, strip 'em up, get 'em with a gun
