Lyrics
You've been born Into a world of sorrow You've been born To try and change tomorrow When I was young I heard of fate But not the word segregate Oh I was raised in boarding school And I was taught to ridicule When I was young I heard of hate But not the word discriminate Oh I was told my way was wrong And I must change to get along When I was very young So very, very young It's a reservation of education It's a reservation of education It's a reservation of education It's a reservation of education Big yellow bus took me away Where I would talk a different way Oh I was told where I would sleep Away from stars and my sheep When I was very young So very, very young After all these years I finally come to see the light But it's hard for an Indian boy to do what's right Especially when he's not white He's not white, he's not white He's not white, he's not white He's not white, he's not white He's not white, he's not white He's not white, he's not white Do-yah-ah-sho-n-dah Ah-bilagáana Do-yah-ah-sho-n-dah Ah-bilagáana Do-yah-ah-sho-n-dah Ah-bilagáana Now I wanna tell you that all that grit You see on them John Wayne movies is painted white I said I wanna tell you that all that grit That you see on them John Wayne movies is painted Hollywood white And it's not right, it's not right It's not right, it's not right It's not right, it's not right It's not right, it's not right It's a reservation of education It's a reservation of education It's a reservation of education It's a reservation of education I'm sure when you were young That you played a game called Cowboys and Indians I said I'm sure when you were young That you played a game called Cowboys and Indians But you're all growed up now But you're still playing a game But only now, it's called Whiteman and Indian Whiteman and Indian Whiteman and Indian Indian, Indian Indian, Indian Indian, Indian Indian, Indian Indian, Indian Indian, Indian Indian, Indian Do-yah-ah-sho-n-dah Ah-bilagáana Do-yah-ah-sho-n-dah Ah-bilagáana Do-yah-ah-sho-n-dah Ah-bilagáana Do-yah-ah-sho-n-dah Ah-bilagáana Do-yah-ah-sho-n-dah Ah-bilagáana
