===I Am an Indian (ver. 2)=== | |||
<poem>Green Jello cubes | |||
Shaped like two boobs | |||
I'm scared to meet my maker | |||
If I seem a bit too rude | |||
Fill in these holes | |||
Randomly-chose | |||
Still I got a | |||
100,000 to 40 score | |||
I am an Indian | |||
Out saving souls again | |||
I'll teach you how to dance | |||
And make the raindrops fall | |||
I am an Indian | |||
Out saving souls again | |||
I'll teach you how to put | |||
Those stars back in the sky | |||
Just one small rib | |||
Make Adam's chick | |||
But I was born of Eve | |||
And so I haven't found a fit | |||
My teacher corrects | |||
Holds back the sex | |||
Hits me with a ruler | |||
When I raise all kinds of heck | |||
I am an Indian | |||
Out saving souls again | |||
I'll teach you how to dance | |||
And make the raindrops fall | |||
I am an Indian | |||
Out saving souls again | |||
I'll teach you how to put | |||
Those stars back in the sky | |||

<poem> | <poem> | ||
Light up the fires | Light up the fires | ||
We going to defend this land | Put on your paints | ||
We don't need their gods | We're going to defend this land | ||
We've trusted our religion | Or hang our heads in shame | ||
We don't need their gods | |||
We don't need their toys | |||
We've trusted our religion | |||
Since we were just little boys | |||
We are the Indians | We are the Indians | ||
Out saving souls again | Out saving souls again | ||
We'll teach you how to dance | We'll teach you how to dance | ||
And make the raindrops fall | |||
We are the Indians | We are the Indians | ||
Out saving souls again | Out saving souls again | ||
We'll teach you how to put | We'll teach you how to put | ||
Those stars back in the sky | |||
Grandfather came | Grandfather came | ||
He fought with all his courage | From Narragansett Bay | ||
This is our chance | He fought with all his courage | ||
Are you going to help us | Till they took his life away | ||
This is our chance | |||
To rescue our world | |||
Are you going to help us | |||
Or pretend you never heard? | |||
We are the Indians | We are the Indians | ||
Out saving souls again | Out saving souls again | ||
We'll teach you how to dance | We'll teach you how to dance | ||
And make the raindrops fall | |||
We are the Indians | We are the Indians | ||
Out saving souls again | Out saving souls again | ||
We'll teach you how to put | We'll teach you how to put | ||
</poem> | Those stars back in the sky | ||
