Native Son

What have you done to the native son?
Has freedom past him by?
Wasting time on a reservation,
can't help but to wonder why?
has he been left to die....

Home of the brave, land of the free...
Live aide, farm aide, no aide for me!!
Serving three years in a penitentiary
For wearing Eagle feathers in a ceremony...
Oh, say can you see
that the national bird is freer than me!!

Just take the land, "X" marks the spot..
Then let him stew In the melting pot!!
And maybe he'll forget the words
You promised a log time ago,
then he'll share the same fate
as the buffalo.
