D A C#m F#m
What have we lost, poisoned, or crushed
D A C#m F#m
What highest hopes, were stolen, from us

What voices were staffled, slienced, scared, and carried off

With your head in the sand

You think we can write it, Ah

well some of us can’t

D A C#m F#m
Who’s after taken, Our wages, and our trust
D A C#m F#m
Our women forsaken, forgotten, and lost

Our Holy rollin hills, our waters, our crops

Are hid in their bills, Pushed through, hushed up, sold off like pawns

all walks of life

and it must again, for my children, and theirs
