lyrics

Well we wake in the dark with our ears to the ground
From across the black water comes a rumbling sound
Make way, make way, they say, for the brave engineers
Come to lay down a pipe line on a fresh trail of tears

They’ve brought their machines to dig up this ground
Drills and bulldozers and cranes all around
Their choppers fly low blowing dust in our eyes
And there’s men there with rifles and dogs on the lines

And they say…
‘Move along, Tonto, get the fuck out of here
Go run along like a good Indian’
The heart off this bedrock the heart of this soil

Will be Pastures of pipelines flowing with oil
Pastures of pipelines flowing with oil
Pastures of pipelines flowing with oil

This land is the land where the ancestors lay
Deep in the heart of Uci Maka
The rain carries tears when their shovel split bones
This land is their skin, this land is their home

And they say…
‘Move over Injun, there’s no way to stop us
You want your water but we need our profits
The heart off this bedrock the heart of this soil

Will be Pastures of pipelines flowing with oil
Pastures of pipelines flowing with oil
Pastures of pipelines flowing with oil

Your handshakes a falsehood, your eyes cannot hide
They reveal the darkness and the greed that’s inside
Every word that you’ve spoken all revealed to be lies
Every promise you’ve broken, every treaty you’ve signed


So go ahead, devil, get the fuck out of here
We’ll stand where we and we’ll fight without fear
The heart of this bedrock the blood of this soil
Like the blood that mingles with the blood of us all
The blood that mingles with the blood of us all
The blood that mingles with the blood of us all
