lyrics

Oil in the water poisoning your daughter now
Oil in the river now you cannot live here
while the fish they swim and die
and all the reeds and cat-tails cry
and you had a chance to stand
but you stood by

Maybe there's a man who can lend a hand from far
They tell me that his house is white
but he's like a mouse tonight
with his silence as people cry,
they dreamt of life and wonder why,
why he had a chance to stand
but he stood by

Red Fawn is our sister and we really miss her tonight
Will you please deliver a pardon,
don't you know it's her right
to stand in her own land
without attack from govern-man
when her defense was just to stand
— American — so lend your hand,
now you have a chance to stand
so don't stand by
