One Little Indian
A.L.T. And The Lost Civilization

[Boy:]

A.L.T., will you tell me a story about indians*


[Chorus: ~Boy~]

One little, two little, three little indians

Four little, five little, six little indians

Seven little, eight little, nine little indians

Ten little indians gone


[Verse 1: ~A.L.T.~]

Tisk-it a task-it, task-it to tusk-it

One little indian, run from the musket

Head for the hills and make it pronto

Don't believe that B.S.

You heard about a pale face and Tonto

Many many troops came in blue suits

Stomp a little child's head

Til he's dead with them big black boots

Raid, then pillage

A teepee village

But here comes the tomahawk, jackin' up a cowboy

This means war

A test for the west

Had to put a arrow in the Pony Express

I had a vision of a eagle in flight

I speak the least hype, put out the peace pipe

But the white man came, thick as syrup

Thousands and thousands, they mailed in from Europe


[Refrain: ~A.L.T.~]

Now they wanna be a friend again

Damn

Forget it

And run, little indian


[Repeat Chorus:]


[Verse 2:]

Here comes the calvary, send the white man in

How can you compare a arrow with a cannon

Buffalo Bill's, eyes filled with hatred

History updated

Let me say what they did

They brought many men on the back, of a horse

Shoot another buffalo cause that's the main food source

That made the indian's eyes filled with tears

But for years, all you thought a cowboy did was rope steers

Let's play cowboys and indians, it's sad, why

Cause the indian was always the bad guy

But in reality

Yo, it had to be

The pale face that took the territory

But that's only history

In your schoolbooks

See

They talk about a tree, but I still call 'em all crooks


[Repeat Refrain:]

[Repeat Chorus:]


[Sample:]

In any war

Once you've read your history books

You can

Read the indian wars

Such and such, just, it's listed in your history

And

But when you lose the battle

Or lose a war

Why then, you have to suffer the consequences

They're conquered people


[Verse 3:]

Run

Indian, head for the mountains

If Coronel Custard comes around, then you scalp 'em

Or fly another arrow with the flame on the tip

Flip the cap back

Down, Mr. C's on the dead tip

They gave

In return for tomahawks, not just some gold rocks

A wise man had a vision

A thought of reservation

It was one stop short of a prison

Tax free, that's the apology

Anthropology shows the truth

But they still won't acknowledge me

The green land with the beach filled with white sand

Now has a freeway controlled by a white man

As I look up

Disgust, only how, it's me

Plus Chris Columbus gets credit for discovery


[Repeat Refrain:]

[Repeat Chorus: (2x)]
