Indian Reservation Lyrics"Indian Reservation" was written by Loudermilk, John.They took the whole Cherokee NationPut us on this reservationTook away our ways of lifeThe tomahawk and the bow and knifeTook away our native tongueAnd taught their English to our youngAnd all the beads we made by handAre nowadays made in JapanCherokee peopleCherokee tribeSo proud to liveSo proud to dieThey took the whole Indian NationLocked us on this reservationThough I wear a shirt and tieI'm still a redman deep insideCherokee peopleCherokee tribeSo proud to liveSo proud to dieBut maybe someday when they've learnedCherokee Nation will returnWill return, will returnWill return, will return

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/stateradio/fightnomore.html

"Fight No More"On behalf of the resistance, and all of our existence As the wanted man, the conquered man.We no not of your borders,But you push us to your corners.This is not your land,This isn't anybody's land.Some will live and some will last,Some will cry out for the past.But my oh my,The answers are falling fast.I will give if this pain won't last.So from where the sun now stands,I will fight no more forever.How you choose to meet your fate, For I will fight no more forever.Government agent arrivals, pale chief and his disciples. They crooked tongues, the acid lungs.We know not of your borders,But the world is getting colder.This is not your land,This isn't anybody's land.Some will live and some will last,Some will bleed like Looking Glass.But my oh my, The answers are falling fast.I will give if this pain won't last.So from where the sun now stands,I will fight no more forever.How you choose to meet your fate, For I will fight no more forever.From where the sun now stands,I will fight no more forever.How you choose to meet your fate, For I will fight no more forever.And the sun will set sad and sick, Break these chains I don't want them no more.And the sun will set sad and sick, Break these chains I don't want them no more.Break these chains I don't want them no more.Break these, break these chains.Said he died of a broken heart.Said he died of a broken heart.Died of a broken heart. Broken heart. Slide16
