Indian Graveyard from 이산: This Mountain by 이산 / Seth Martin

INDIAN GRAVEYARD (drunken sailor melody)



What do you do with an Indian graveyard (x3)
When it blocks your pipeline?




You bulldoze every inch of that graveyard (x3)

When it blocks your pipeline.




What do you do when Wall Street's crumblin' (x3)

And you've got no money?




Start dropping bombs on another poor country (x3)

When you've got no money.




How do you keep poor white folks happy (x3)

When you take their money?




You tell 'em (teach 'em) it's the blacks and the gays and Muslims (x3)

That destroy this country.




Tell Johnny he's brave and he's got a big yanker (x3)

And he'll gladly drive your tanker.




And he'll shoot all the folks who suffer just like him,

He'll shoot all the folks who suffer just like him,

Yeah, he'll kill all the people that suffer just like him

And bring you back your money.




Well, how do you fix a country that's crumblin' (x3)

When you've got no money?




Give 'em beer and football and hot dumplin's (x3)

And a flag to wave each morning! (Yeehaw!)




What do you do with some crazy injuns (x3)

When they block your pipeline?




Well you send in dogs and mercenaries (x3)

And teach 'em who they're messin' with.




Continue the work of the missionaries,

Keep up the work, you missionaries!

Cops and soldiers, missionaries,

Get your god-damned pipeline!




And what do you do with a sunken ferry (x3)

Full of poor dead children?




You silence all investigations (x3)

And send spies to watch the families.





What do you do with an Indian graveyard (x3)

When it blocks your pipeline?
