One Man's Blunder Songtext
von Dana Lyons

Now I watch the fire burn through my walls.
It weren′t enough to shoot out all my windows.
Weren't enough to fan your tear gas billows through my happy home.
We came out here so we could be alone. We came out here to practice our religion.
My wife and I we made it our decision to make this our home.
You set me up and said I broke the law.
You told the town that I was armed and dangerous.
You leaned upon me to spy upon my neighbours and I turned you down.
You can try to blame this on my hate, you can try to frame me in this violence.
My boy is dead and my wife lies here dyin′ right here in our home.
Well you can lock me up! You can put me under, cos I won't live your way! You can tell the world that it's one man′s blunder, but I′ll die free this day.
I watched you burn them out down in Waco.
I watched you bomb the move house in Philadelphia.
At wounded knee the women, men, children in down on their farm.
I know that many folks don't like my kind.
I know that you don′t understand my grievance.
But won't you please just tell me one good reason they fired on our home?
Well you can lock me up!
You can put me under, cos I won′t live your way!
And you can tell the world that it's one man′s blunder, but I'll die free this day.
