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 cavalry
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
We'll 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 cavalry
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
We were all wounded - by Wounded Knee...
