\nwaving in the breeze
\ncorn don’t grow
\nground’s too dry to sew
\nso you don’t so it goes<\/p>\n

\nand the postman’s generals don’t come here anymore
\nit’s a long long way to wounded knee<\/p>\n

Mr. High Hawk
\nMr Shading Bear
\nBlack Coyote
\nScatters Them
\nYellow Robe
\nPretty Hawk
\nSherman Horn Cloud
\nStrong Fox<\/p>\n

(Chorus)
\nand Red Clouds heart is buried here somewhere
\nin the cold hard ground of Wounded Knee<\/p>\n

Wolf Skin Necklace
\nWhite American
\nRed Fish
\nLong Bull
\nYoung Afraid of Bear
\nLittle Water
\nHe Crow
\nSwift Bird
\nGhost Horse
\nSpotted Elk (first given name of Bigfoot – Chief of the Miniconjou Souix)<\/p>\n

(Chorus)
\nif you need to know the postman’s generals don’t come here anymore

Katydid<\/strong> (word and music by Matt Moore)<\/p>\n

who was singing to the forest
\nwho was singing to the stream
\nwho would always sing before the weather
\nback before catastrophe<\/p>\n

Katydid she sang to the forest
\nKatydid she sang to the stream
\nKatydid we thought your song would last forever
\nbut they put a shopping mall up where you lived<\/p>\n

who would sing to them at twilight
\nwho would sing to them at dawn
\nwho’s singing woke them in the morning
\nmuseum’s kiosk crucified the song
\nthat once was performed for orchids
\nonce performed right where I stand
\nthat once proclaimed the wildness of our nature<\/p>\n

Katydid she sang to the forest
\nKatydid she sang to the stream
\nKatydid we thought your song would last forever<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
