The Day We Killed Songtext
von Five Iron Frenzy

Into mass graves we′ve shoveled lives
A massive pipeline for the lies
A past so vast with genocide
And ignorance we hide behind

You say that we are done with this
Turn blind eyes and still dismiss
Chalk it up as something passed
And still create a lower caste

Life cries
Lies, lies

The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride

On broken backs we build empires
Twisting spines for the steeple spires
How many people can you kill?
Look at your 20 dollar bill


Do you see third world poverty
Inside the lines of your country?
And now to treaties we are loyal
But tear them up when we smell oil

Life cries
Lies, lies

The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride

The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride

I can still see the butchered women and children
Lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch
And I can see that something else died there
In the bloody mud and was burried in the blizzard
Our people's dream died there
It was a beautiful dream


The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride

The way you live shows no remorse
For the day that we killed Crazy Horse
Innocence with glassy eyes
Kill the nation, steal their pride
