Şarkı sözleri

From the Indian reservation to the governmental school
Well they're going to educate me to the white men's golden rule
And I'm learning very quickly for I've learned to be ashamed
And I come when they call Billy though I've got an Indian name
And there are drums beyond the mountain, Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near
And when they thought that they had changed me, cut my hair to meet their needs
Will they think I'm white or Indian, quarter blood or just half breed
Let me tell you mister teacher when you say you'll make me right
In five hundred years of fighting, not one Indian turned white
And there are drums beyond the mountain, Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near
Well you thought that I knew nothing when you brought me here to school
Just another empty Indian just America's first fool
But now I can tell you stories that are burnt and dried and old
But in the shadow of their telling walks the thunder proud and bold
And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near
Long Pine and Sequoia, Handsome Lake and Sitting Bull
There's Magnus Colorado with his sleeves so red and full
Crazy Horse the legend those who bit off Custer's soul
They are dead yet they are living with the great Geronimo
And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near
Well you may teach me this land's history but we taught it to you first
We broke your hearts and bent your journeys: broken treaties left us cursed
Even now you have to cheat us, even though you think us tame
In our losing we find proudness, in your winning you find shame
And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near
