  • We all see in black and white
    When it comes to someone else's fight
    No one ever gets involved
    Apathy can never solve
    Forced out, brave and mighty
    Stolen land, they can't fight it
    Hold on to pride and tradition
    Even though they know
    How much their lives are really missing
    We're dissing them
    On reservations
    A hopeless situation
    Respect is something that you earn
    Our Indian brothers' getting burned
    Original American
    Turned into a second class citizen
    Forced out, brave and mighty
    Stolen land, they can't fight it
    Hold on to pride and tradition
    Even though they know
    How much their lives are really missing
    We're dissing them
    On reservations
    A hopeless situation
    Cry for the Indians, oh
    Die for the Indians
    Cry for the Indians
    Oh cry, cry, cry for the Indians
    Love the land and fellow man
    Peace is what we strive to have
    Some folks have none of this
    Hatred and prejudice
    Forced out, brave and mighty
    Stolen land, they can't fight it
    Hold on to pride and tradition
    Even though they know
    How much their lives are really missing
    We're dissing them
    On reservations
    A hopeless situation
    Cry for the Indians
    Die for the Indians
    Cry for the Indians
    Cry, cry, cry for the Indians
    War dance!
    Territory, it's just the body of the nation
    The people that inhabit it make its configuration
    Prejudice, something we all can do without
    The flag of many colors is what this land's all about
    We all see in black and white
    When it comes to someone else's fight
    No one ever gets involved, no one
    Apathy can never solve
    Forced out, brave and mighty
    Stolen land, they can't fight it
    Hold on to pride and tradition
    Even though they know
    How much their lives are really missing
    We're dissing them
    On reservations
    A hopeless situation
    Cry for the Indians
    Die for the Indians
    Cry for the Indians
    Cry, cry, cry for the Indians Writer/s: CHARLIE L. BENANTE, DANIEL ALAN SPITZ, FRANK JOSEPH BELLO, JOSEPH A. BELLARDINI, SCOTT IAN ROSENFELD
