We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee Songtext
von Redbone

We were all wounded at wounded knee
You and me
We were all wounded at wounded knee
You and me
In the name of manifest destiny
You and me, you and me, you and me

They made us many promises, but always broke their word
They penned us in like Buffalo, drove us like a herd
And finally, on the reservation, we were going for our preservation
We were all wiped out by the seventh Calvary
You and me, you and me


We were all wounded at wounded knee
You and me
We were all wounded at wounded knee
You and me
In the name of manifest destiny
You and me, you and me, you and me

Now we make our promises
We won′t break our word
Well, sing, sing, sing out our story 'til the message is heard
There′s a whole new generation
Raise the dream of veneration
Who were not wiped out by the seventh Calvary
You and me, you and me

We were all wounded at wounded knee
You and me
We were all wounded at wounded knee
You and me
We were all wounded by wounded knee
