about

CRAZY HORSE MOUNTAIN In the late 1960s, famed Medicine Man John Fire Lame Deer and his co-author,
Richard Erdoes, sat on top of Mount Rushmore’s four white faces and discussed with Sculpture Korczak
Ziolkowski, who was carving the Crazy Horse Memorial, the moral implications of carving any face onto any
mountain in the sacred Paha Sapa (the heart of everything that is). The four line chorus* is used with permission by
the Erdose descendants. The rest is my history lesson to America.
* “If I had the balls of a bison
and the prick of a bull buffalo
I'd stand on top of Crazy Horse Mountain
and piss on the bastards below.”

lyrics

Crazy Horse Mountain

Washington sent George Custer they needed to pay some bills
The headlines read go west young man! There's gold in them there hills
So they packed up their mules and wagons, headed for our holy land
But our young men said it's a good day to die last stand for old Custer's Clan

Chorus:
“If I had the balls of a bison and the prick of a bull buffalo
I'd stand on top of Crazy Horse Mountain and piss on the bastards below.”

Crazy Horse took exception to the sounds of shovels and picks
Gold diggers ran, with gold in their pans, their bones in the river now sit
And sitting on top of Roosevelt's head the old man and me drinking wine
He said, “this mountain's changed, four Presidents came, and put up that new tourist sign.”

repeat Chours:

So now, many years later they've traded our gold for crude
Our young men fight for the government's might come home with a bad attitude
So we do what we can to enlighten and that's why we're here on Rushmore
Congressmen say they will help us we don't believe anymore

She speaks to us about the deepest issues. Issues that all of us should care about, but so many of us pretend don’t affect us.” ~ Candye Kane ... more
