Tim Knecht - So Much Has Changed Lyrics

A man with white skin
They had never seen
They did not know
What destruction he'd bring
They would die from disease
And his heart full of greed
They did not know
What destruction he'd bring

He killed their people
Their towns he would burn
Enslaved their children
And forced them to work
Would make them treaties
Then go back on his word
Again, and again
Went back on his word

Forced from their homes
Forced from their land
Put on reservations
By the white man
Some fought long and hard
But could not withstand
The guns and the steel
Of the white man

Their way of life
Was slowly destroyed
Some turned to drinking
To fill the void
Western Shoshone
To East Iroquois
Their way of life
Was slowly destroyed
Time has passed
There is still pain
The natives live on
But so much has changed
Brutally treated
A terrible shame
The natives live on
But so much has changed
