Well, the boys came lookin' for their soul
Nah, para pemuda datang mencari jati diri mereka
They wanted all the world to see
Mereka ingin seluruh dunia melihatnya
So they took Alcatraz and did a graveyard dance
Jadi mereka mengambil Alcatraz dan menari di kuburan
All they wanted was some dignity
Yang mereka inginkan hanyalah sedikit martabat

But from a rerun story from a late, late show
Tapi ini cerita lama yang diulang dari acara larut malam
Where the Indian gets no amnesty
Di mana orang Indian tidak mendapat amnesti
And spends the rest of his life in a Kansas cell
Dan menghabiskan sisa hidupnya di sel Kansas
At the bottom of priority
Di dasar prioritas

High and dry, left to take another's blame
Tinggi dan kering, ditinggalkan untuk menanggung kesalahan orang lain
High and dry, first hand knowledge of an innocent man
Tinggi dan kering, pengalaman langsung dari seorang yang tak bersalah
You can hear him cryin' down in ol' K City
Kau bisa mendengar dia menangis di K City tua
Hear him up at Wounded Knee
Dengar dia di Wounded Knee
For the rest of his life in a Kansas cell
Untuk sisa hidupnya di sel Kansas
At the bottom of priority
Di dasar prioritas

Well, locked up, forgotten, tucked outta the way
Nah, terkurung, terlupakan, disimpan jauh dari pandangan
And treated like he wasn't a man
Dan diperlakukan seolah dia bukan manusia
They took their aim and wasn't it a shame
Mereka memfokuskan sasaran dan sungguh memalukan
How we stuck our head into the sand
Betapa kita menyembunyikan kepala kita di pasir

Well, it was way too late for the government
Nah, sudah terlambat bagi pemerintah
They had to make somebody plea
Mereka harus membuat seseorang mengaku
And spend the rest of his life in Kansas cell
Dan menghabiskan sisa hidupnya di sel Kansas
At the bottom of priority
Di dasar prioritas

High and dry, left to take another's blame
Tinggi dan kering, ditinggalkan untuk menanggung kesalahan orang lain
High and dry, first hand knowledge of an innocent man
Tinggi dan kering, pengalaman langsung dari seorang yang tak bersalah
You can hear him cryin' down in ol' K City
Kau bisa mendengar dia menangis di K City tua
Hear him up at Wounded Knee
Dengar dia di Wounded Knee
For the rest of his life in a Kansas cell
Untuk sisa hidupnya di sel Kansas
At the bottom of priority
Di dasar prioritas
For the rest of his life in a Kansas cell
Untuk sisa hidupnya di sel Kansas
At the bottom of priority
Di dasar prioritas
