We were all wounded at wounded knee, you and me
We were all wounded at wounded knee, you and me
In the name of manifest destiny, you and me
You and me, you and me

They made us many promises but always broke their word
They penned us in like buffalo, drove us like a herd
And finally on the reservation where we'd gone for our preservation
We were all wiped out by the seventh calvary, you and me, you and me

We were all wounded at wounded knee, you and me
We were all wounded at wounded knee, you and me
In the name of manifest destiny, you and me
You and me, you and me

Now we make our promises, we won't break our word
Well sing, sing, sing out our story till the truth is heard
There's a whole new generation, braves who dream of veneration
Who were not wiped out by the seventh calvary, you and me, you and me

We were all wounded at wounded knee, you and me
We were all wounded at wounded knee, you and me
In the name of manifest destiny, you and me
You and me, you and me
