Five Little Indians Lyrics
[Intro]
Westward expansion was accelerating as never before. And the clash of cultures and aspirations had begun a generation before between the oncoming settlers and the Plains Indians was to become more violent and tragic still
And if the Indians continued their barbarities...wipe them out. Man, women and children. Nothing else will do
[Verse One]
The bravest red faces, saviors that degrade us
Getting chased, it be the five who were hated
Made it out the battle son, all riding stallions
Rattle snake venom wearing skulls for medallions
Daniel Boone bashing, David Crockett killing
Villains were the pilgrims, eliminate our children
Rape our acres, take back the land sacred
Invade watch them race, stage coach no escaping
[Hook] {x2}
One little, two little, three little, four
Five Indians wanna set to start the war
Take the land that was theirs from once before
The reward is life once they burn down the forts
[Verse Two]
Skilled in archery, stuck up the armory
Too far, can't stop now, attack the cavalry
Arteries pump hate, caused by disharmony
Anarchy starts, check the witch doctor pharmacy
Sioux, Cherokee, Oglala, Azteca and Tiano
Together, cleared up the weather
Chiefs of the era, we rebel on the enemy
Five entities control the lands destiny
[Hook]
[Verse Three]
Scalping four star generals
Across state line federal

Fugitives run high off peyote chemicals
Sentinels scout, carry out these prophetical
Without ethics, soldiers be expendable
Strip they apparel
Real flaming arrows
Circle 'round colonels, empty kerosene barrels
Burn to the bone marrow
Mask of blood damages
Yankees regroup, troop now left in bandages
Scavengers fight, can't challenge these spirits
You cry for help a ghost town be the nearest
Perseverance, unexplained disappearance
Chant chuck a spear at the five, stand fearless
[Hook]
