Death stalks the indian activist The bird turns its wings to the sky The feathers fall the feathers fall Revolution revolution revolution
The roadrunner eats the rattlesnake Eats the rat eats the sky In the desert where the factory Eats the worker running dry The mines drill out the rock To build a bigger bomb stock And the miners are expendable They die out from the chemicals That run into the water the soil And the air And some die fighting but no One really notices Revolution revolution revolution
Land belongs to no one But is taken from some And the good water is pumped From the rez out by the ton To california
The pockets are peddling The pesticide scene Silence is cutting the Grandfather trees The bomb maker hangs From a rope in his basement While america dreams The american dream Revolution revolution revolution
