Genocide - Thin Lizzy

When they try to tell you knowledge is a dangerous thing

It’s such a dangerous thing

The people that have it are the people that sin

And the people that need it are the people that can never win

They can never win

Let me get you out of here little broken wing

There are people 'round here that are right

There are people 'round here that like to sleep at night

There are people 'round here that go slow

There are people 'round here

That don’t take kindly to the killing of the buffalo, oh no

When they tear up all the treaties and break up all the plans

They break up all the plans

Did you do your duty and kill on command?

Did you know the red man used to roam this land?

He used to roam this land

Now the souls of lost warriors blow across the sands

People 'round here, they get it right

People 'round here, we like to sleep at night

There are people 'round here that go slow

People 'round here

That don’t take kindly to the killing of the buffalo, oh no

So listen to my story and listen to it well

You better listen well

Listen to the glory of the gory details of the tale I tell

Did you know the red man very well?

I used to know him well

Did you know the hunting ground before it became a hell?

There are people 'round here that are right

There are people 'round here that like to sleep at night

There are people 'round here I don’t know

There are people 'round here

That don’t take kindly to the killing of the buffalo

The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo

The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo

The killing, the killing of the, the killing of the buffalo

The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo

The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo

The killing, the killing

So listen to my story of genocide

How they were hunted and slaughtered

Till there was no place left to hide

Did you know the red man used to hold his head with pride?

Till every man, woman and child were destroyed

There are people 'round here that get it right

There are people 'round here that couldn’t sleep at night

There are people 'round here I don’t know

There are people 'round here

That don’t take kindly to the killing of the buffalo

There are people 'round here that understand

There are people 'round here that couldn’t give a damn

There are people 'round here that go slow

There are people 'round here

That don’t take kindly to the killing of the buffalo

There are people 'round here

That don’t take too kindly to the killing of the buffalo

The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo

The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo

The killing of the buffalo, the killing, the killing of the

They’re killing all the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo

The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo

The killing of the buffalo, the killing, they’re killing all the

They’re killing all the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo

The killing of the buffalo, the killing of the buffalo

The killing of the buffalo, the killing, the killing

The killing of the buffalo
