There was none on his side

C 
And I heard him callin'
G

I was riding shotgun
C 
G 
C

in the land of the Indian, South Dakota,
D 
G 
playing railroad tires,
C 
and we raped the women
G 
C 
G 
Em 
when they were not willing,
G 
and we pissed on their

dreams of paradise.

Hell, they was red, we was white,
C 
G 
we was young, and we was right
D 
And somebody's got to pay

some ain't got any

There's a world war comin',
C 
G 
and  we kept on drummin',
C 
G 
and  we dropped that bomb,
and hell, we leveled that place,
C 
and we took no chances
G 
C 
G 
behind the barbed wire fences,
Em 
and we kept prison
G 
D 
we hid their face
G 
D 
hell they was yellin we was white
C 
we was young and we was right
G 
and somebody has got to pay
D 
C

in this land of plenty
C

some ain't got any hell we took our share
G

G 
Em 
G 
back in the day
D 
G 
It's a different day, you know.
C

Now the white man goes
C 
G 
to Indian casinos
eatin' Chinese food.
What the hell is he thinkin'?
C 
G 
Thinkin' without blinkin'.
Em 
G 
Get in business with a black man,
D 
G 
get in bed with a Puerto Rican
D 
They was brown, we was white,
C 
we was young and we was right
G

And somebody's got to pay,
C 
G 
in this land of plenty
C

I'm just USA free and proud to be
and I take care of me and mine.
