We were all wounded at Wounded Knee
You and me
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee
You and me

In the name of manifest destiny
You and me, you and me
You and me

They made us many promises
But always broke their word
They penned us in like buffalo
Drove us like a herd

And finally on the reservation
We were going for our preservation
We were all wiped out
By the seventh cavalry

You and me, you and me

We were all wounded at Wounded Knee
You and me
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee
You and me

In the name of manifest destiny
You and me, you and me
You and me

Now we make our promises
We won't break our word
We'll sing, sing, sing out our story
'Till the truth is heard

There's a whole new generation
Which will dream of veneration
Who were not wiped out
By the seventh cavalry

You and me, you and me

We were all wounded at Wounded Knee
You and me
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee
You and me

We were all wounded by Wounded Knee
