Terri Hendrix - Jim Thorpe's Blues lyrics

One, two One, two, three, go The great Jim Thorpe was Indian pride The athlete of the century was cast aside They took his medals right out of his hand And buried nuclear waste on Indian land Nuclear waste on Indian land We've got high tech people with low tech souls And dot com Wi-Fi Internet polls We curse the wind and use the sun to tan And bury nuclear waste on Indian land Nuclear waste on Indian land Run Geronimo run They're gonna seal the deal with a forked tongue If you knew back then what we know now You'd run Geronimo run, keep on running, yeah We've got arrow heads, we've got beaded bags With made in China sticker covered up by price tags Something for nothing will one day be Nothing for something for you and me Nothing for something for you and me All I know about Indian history Is what I've seen on the TV screen I've been a tourist, I've had my picture made And spent a fortune on a slot machine that never paid Nothing for something for you and me Run Geronimo run They're gonna seal the deal with a forked tongue If you knew back then what we know now You'd run Geronimo run, keep on running, yeah The great Jim Thorpe was Indian pride The athlete of the century was cast aside Ashes to ashes and dust to dust It's anybody's guess who we can trust Now it's the guys in ties who will shake your hand And bury nuclear waste on Indian land Nuclear waste on Indian land Run Geronimo run They're gonna seal the deal with a forked tongue If you knew back then what we know now You'd run Geronimo run, keep on running, keep on running, yeah
