Genocide (The Killing of The Buffalo) Lyrics

When they try to tell you knowledge is a dangerous thing

"It's such a dangerous thing"

The people that have it are the people that sin

And the people that need it are the people that can never win

"They can never win"

Let me get you out of here Little Broken Wing

There are people round here that are right

There are people round here that like to sleep at night

There are people round here that go slow

There are people round here that don't kindly to the killing of the buffalo

When they tear up all the treaties and break up all the plans

"They break up all the plans"

Did you do your duty and kill on command?

Did you know the redman used to roam this land?

"He used to roam this land"

Now the souls of lost warriors blow across the sands

People round here they get it right

People round here we like to sleep at night

There are people round here that go slow

People round here that don't take kindly to the killing of the buffalo, oh no

So listen to my story and listen to it well

"You better listen well"

Listen to the glory of the gory details of the tale I tell

Did you know the redman very well?

"I used to know him well"

Did you know the hunting ground before it became a hell?

There are people round here that are right

There are people round here that like to sleep at night

There are people round here I don't know

There are people round here that don't take kindly to the killing of the buffalo

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing

The killing of the

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing

The killing

So listen to my story of Genocide

How they were hunted and slaughtered till there was no place left to hide

Did you know the redman used to hold his head with pride?

Till every man, woman and child were destroyed

There are people round here that get it right

There are people round here that couldn't sleep at night

There are people round here I don't know

There are people round here that don't take kindly to the killing of the buffalo

There are people round here that understand

There are people round here that couldn't give a damn

There are people round here that go slow

There are people round here that don't take too kindly to the killing of the buffalo

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing

The killing of the

They're killing all the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing

They're killing all the

They're killing all the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing of the buffala-o

The killing

The killing

The killing of the buffala-o
