[Intro] Personally, I should prefer to see the aborigines And the Indians, too! And the Indians, too! This should be most enlightening What makes the red man red? Teach 'em all about red man [Chorus] What made the red man red? What made the red man red? What made the red man red? What made the red man red? Teach 'em all about red man (red man) [Verse 1] Your history books (lies) Your holidays (lies) Thanksgiving lies and Columbus Day Tell me why I know more than the teacher Tell me why I know more than the preacher Tell me why you think the red man is red Stained with the blood from the land you bled Tell me why you think the red man is dead With a fake headdress on your head Tell me what you know about thousands of nations Displaced and confined to concentration camps called reservations We died for the birth of your nation Hollywood portrays us wrong (like savages) History books say we're gone (like savages) Your god and church say we're wrong (savages) We're from the Earth, it made us strong [Chorus] Many moons, red man fought paleface What made the red man red? What made the red man red? What made the red man red? What made the red man red? Please, you want to stay here and grow up like, like savages? [Verse 2] Savages is as savage does The white man came and ravaged us Caused genocide, look in my eyes And tell me who you think the savage was Savages? Savages? Their great celebration continued into the night [Bridge] Manifest destiny arrested what's best for me They kill my culture, America made a mess of me You inherited everything we die for and all we get is a goddamn mascot Manifest destiny arrested what's best for me They kill my culture, America made a mess of me You inherited everything we die for and all we get is a goddamn mascot Redskin, red-redskins, redskins, redskin, those redskins Many moons the red man fought paleface Sometimes you win, sometimes we win You made me red when you killed my people Made me red when you bled my tribe Made me red when you killed my people (Like savages, like savages) [Chorus: The Chief & Frank Waln] The real true story of the red man The real true story of the red man No matter what is written or said What made the red man red? All the lies that you spread What made the red man red? All the blood that you bled What made the red man red? All the lies that you spread What made the red man red? You, you [Outro] Pale-face savages Pale-face savages Go out and catch a few Indians Savages
