Into the badlands, the white man came Killing out of fear what they couldn't explain Disease unknown to this virgin land Laid to waste with the gun in command From the steel rails the bullets did fly Shooting buffalo with a gleam in their eye The sheer sport and the blood of the kill Burning carcasses, till they had their fill The warrior ain't no more The warrior lost his war The white man came and left his pain Now the warrior ain't no more The pain and the sorrow rose with the sun Ending their dreams with a whip and a gun Taken their rights and their dignity too Bound to be slaves, ready for abuse To the reservations by government sent Fill up the prisons till they repent Now the land, that's all that's left Will be taken back with another theft
