Alien Reprisal - Standing Rock Remastered 2024 Lyrics

I remember learning about the treatment
We gave to those who once owned this land
I remember learning about the natives
And how we treated em' all like savages
Oh, then what did we do?
Said this country wasn't big enough for me and you
Oh, and just because we can,
We decided to throw them all in reservations
Oh, woah, oh standing rock I stand with you
Oh, woah oh I won't let them hurt you
No I won't let them hurt you
Standing rock
Don't give up
Once on these great plains were men and women
That used everything and they wore moccasins
They took every single day to show compassion
For their sacred environment
Oh, then what did we do?
Started destroying their sacred ecosystems
Oh, just to make a buck or two
In the name of industrialization
Oh, woah, oh standing rock I stand with you
Oh, woah oh I won't let them hurt you
No I won't let them hurt you
Standing rock
Please don't give up
We can't do this to our neighbors
We are already their betrayers
Don't forget about the trail of tears
Or the treaties we've broken over the years
Oh don't forget what we've done
We've killed so many men
And raped so many of their women
Oh we aren't the Americans
We're domestic terrorists
Oh, woah, oh standing rock I stand with you
Oh, woah oh, I won't let them hurt you
No I won't let them hurt you
There's only one thing left to say
DAPL must be overturned today
Oh, woah, oh standing rock I stand with you
Oh, woah oh I won't let them hurt you
Won't let them hurt you
Standing rock
Don't, don't give up
Won't let them hurt you
