Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We all see black and white
When it comes to someone else's fight
No one ever gets involved
Apathy can never solve
[PreChorus]
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 missin'
We're dissin' them
On reservations
A hopeless situation
[Verse 2]
Respect is something that you earn
Our Indian brothers' getting burned
Original American
Turned into, second-class citizen
[PreChorus]
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 missin'
We're dissin' them
On reservations
A hopeless situation
[Chorus]
Cry for the Indians
Die for the Indians
Cry for the Indians
Cry, cry
Cry for the Indians
[Verse 3]
Love the land and fellow man
Peace is what we strive to have
Some folks have none of this
Hatred and prejudice
[PreChorus]
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 missin'
We're dissin' them
On reservations
A hopeless situation
[Chorus]
Cry for the Indians
Die for the Indians
Cry for the Indians
Cry, cry
Cry for the Indians
[Bridge]
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
A flag of many colors is what this land's all about
[Verse 4]
We all see black and white
When it comes to someone else's fight
No one ever gets involved, no one
Apathy can never solve
[PreChorus]
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 missin'
We're dissin' them
On reservations
A hopeless situation
[Chorus]
Cry for the Indians
Die for the Indians
Cry for the Indians
Cry, cry
Cry for the Indians
