Hey yah hey

Dii nihi keyah ho
Akonisin

[Instrumental]

[Spoken word]
The Indian has been out there on the ghetto of the reservation for a long long time
We have existed without adequate food, clothing, shelter, or medicine, to name but a few
In their place we have been given malnutrition, poverty, disease, suicide, and bureaucratic promises of a better tomorrow
Your America has not been the land of your proclaimed liberty and justice for all
May your God forgive you
The treatment of our people has been a national tragedy and disgrace
The time has come to put an end to that disgrace
Alcatraz, Fort Lawton, whatever necessary
We must now manage our own affairs and control our own lives
And through it all remain to be
The true American
