Reservation Of Education Lyrics

When I was young, I heard of hate
but not the word discriminate;
Oh I was raised in boarding school
and I was taught to ridicule.
When I was young I heard of fate
but not the word "segregate"
Oh I was told my way was wrong
and I must change to get along
When I was very young, so very, very young ...
It's a reservation of education! (bis)
Big yellow bus took me away
where I would talk a different way.
Oh I was told where I would sleep
away from stars and my sheep
When I was very young, so very, very young ...
After all these years I finally come to see the light;
but it's hard for an Indian boy to do what's right,
especially if he's not white!
Now I wanna tell you that all that grit that you see
in them John Wayne movies is painted Hollywood white
and it's not right, it's not right,
it's not right, it's not right ! ..
It's a reservation of education! (bis)
I'm sure when you were young
you played a game called cowboys and Indians;
but we're all growed up now
but some people are still playing a game;
but only now it's got a new name, and it's called : Washington and Indian, Bureaucrats and Indian,
B.I.A. and Indian, Indian, Indian, Indian, Indian!
