The Priests Of The Golden Bull

Buffy St. Marie

    Who brought the bomb wrapped in business cards
    and stained with steak?
    Who hires a maid to wash his money?
    Who keeps politicians on the take?
    Who puts outspoken third-worlders in jail just to shut
    them down?
    Oh the lies vary from place to place but the truth is
    still the same, even in this town

    Their tongues are silver forks
    There's a lack of wisdom,
    you can hear it on their breath
    Windego

    Third Worlders see it first: the dynamite, the dozers,
    the cancer and the acid rain
    The corporate caterpillars come into our backyards
    and turn the world to pocket change
    Reservations are the nuclear frontline;
    uranium poisoning kills
    We're starving in a handful of gluttons
    We're drowning in their gravy spills

    Money junkies all over the world
    trample us on their way to the bank
    They run in every race
    Windego

    It's delicate confronting these priests of the golden bull
    They preach from the pulpit of the bottom line
    Their minds rustle with million dollar bills

    You say Silver burns a hole in your pocket
    and Gold burns a hole in your soul
    Well, Uranium burns a hole in forever
    It just gets out of control

    There was a crooked man who walked a crooked mile
    He raised a crooked sixpence to hide a crooked style
    He won a crooked race and smiled a crooked smile
    Windego

    Their tongues are silver forks
    There's a lack of wisdom, you can hear it on their
    breath
    Windego.
