Ignorant Indian

Ignorant Indian
you've lost your land
and scoffed at man
to understand

That only you
have lost your soil
And pumped your land
of Indian oil

To say that you
have made the Queen
And families made
are in between

To tell the world
you're love is great
And queen's who've lived
are not in state

To tell you all
the treaty's good
And rule the world
misunderstood

And make you think the land is all
when Indian's made are standing tall
And leave you wonder who's ignored
when families made are in accord
