about

Also originally release on the 1994 album American Holocaust. Co-producer Justin Crown and Georgie Jessup came up with a new and powerful version of this song about the theft of the Six Grandfathers (Mount Rushmore) and the genocide that took place against Native Americans.

lyrics

Where The Buffalo Roam

Nothing is black or white when you take your first breath
If you’re searching for the new frontier you can’t go west
See the faces, in a land full of bones
This dreams gone crazy ‘cause this is not a home

In the land where the buffalo roam
I’m free
Yanipi Kta O’wancha’ ya
In the land where the buffalo roam

Took it from the black hills, it’s in the banks of their souls
Made a lot of rich men from blood on that gold
They took the Paha Sapa, really fucked it up
Carved the face of more lies, monuments to genocide

Repeat chorus:

Bridge: They don’t believe – when we sing about love
They don’t believe – when we say we want peace
They don’t believe – when we tell them that it’s freedom
In the land where the buffalo roam:

Repeat first verse and chorus to outro:

For the Cheyenne and Arapaho
For the Crow and Lakota
For the Pawnee and Comanche
The the Kiowa and Omaha
