wounded knee

no, i don't like the new way you're
man-handling me
getting pretty sick of bending down
on my wounded knee
so i tried to pull the curtains down
before crawling into that crazy town
oh yeah
blood marked my solitary path on the roughest street
oh yeah
blood marked the soles of my sore feet
and no one that i wanted to meet
oh yeah
oh yeah
i found an empty bottle and it wasn't at all like you
it never tried to tell me what to do
so gonna take a long pull before i go to my next school
and someday i'll get a passing grade
all my dues will have been paid
i'll remember all the memories i've already made
oh yeah
i'll go my own way
looking for an open door
not interested in what you might say
i don't want to understand what it was all for
there might be parts of me still visible on the floor
no, i don't like the new way you're
man-handling me
getting pretty sick of bending down
on my wounded knee
so i tried to pull the curtains down
before crawling into that crazy town
oh yeah
blood marked my solitary path on the roughest street
oh yeah
blood marked the soles of my sore feet
and no one that i wanted to meet
oh yeah
oh yeah
i found an empty bottle and it wasn't at all like you
