It feels like what we're doing here is killing her

Or maybe what we're doing here really ain't that bad

But are you really willing to sit back and take that chance oh yeah

Put a gun to your kid's future play Russian Roulette

Well I say please, please don't give up

My warriors across the land

'Cause I say please, please don't give up

'Cause your mother, nature's last stand

And my warriors cry…

Save our mother she is alive

And they cried save our trees 'cause they give us life

And they cried save our water it gives us life

And they cried save our mother she is alive

And now they're doing dark things in them Dakota plains

More money, more power, more mother earth pain

Black gold vampires with five-mile fangs suckin' life outta her energy filled veins

How many kids gotta die as we follow these fake pharaohs

Robin Hood gonna need some arrows in them over-priced barrels and

Why we fightin' wars overseas when plenty of problems on our own streets

Let's bring our kids home and fight for peace

And I say please, please don't give up

My warriors across the land

Cause I say please, please don't give up

Cause your mother, nature's last stand

Now we came into this country real strong

We did the indigenous people real wrong

We said "Now here's some crappy land and some treaties, and a lifetime supply of commodity cheese"

It didn't take long and treaties got broke

That gold in them hills took back them pen strokes

A hundred years later we got cars and rockets, now its black gold this time that's lining them pockets

I say please, please don't give up

My warriors across the land

'Cause I say please, please don't give up

'Cause your mother, nature's last stand

'Cause your mother, nature's last stand

And my warriors cry…

Save our mother she is alive

And they cried save our trees 'cause they give us life

And they cried save our water it gives us life

And they cried save our mother she is alive

And they cried save our mother she is alive
