See, I care about you guys
I respect you because you were created by God
And your mom, and your parents
The reason why I'm here
Is so that you can teach your children
Some say there's a residue
Of the things we do in the places we do them
Now we're living at the scene of the crime
We bought a one way ticket to the front of the line
'Cause I show you kindness doesn't mean I'm weak
because I'm not going to play your game
Four fathers from another place
Holy Mountain has a new face
I wouldn't say respect, because I told them
you know respect and fear are two separate things
and I'm not afraid of you but I have respect for you
White Faces in the Black Hills
Now we've got a new deal with no choice, you'll take it
And you know we stole it
'Cause we never sold it
They gave you that knowledge to do this so,
it's not really your theory, it came from the spirits,
and if you believe that way
then you understand what I'm talking about
Send theirs prayers to the one in the sky
But they only seem to die
But your children are innocent
they don't know any better,
so whatever it is that you're doing
you're passing that stuff on to your children
and I want to protect your children
Now we're living at the scene of the crime
We bought a one-way ticket to the front of the line
And you know we stole it, 'cause we never sold it
Yeah, they never sold it, yeah, we never sold it
Anger circles growing
Anger circles breathing
Anger circles closing in
Cause histories not changing
And this pain is not erasing
Like the stone that it's carved in
Mountain eyes that sold the lies
Like an evil mans design
Now the trees hold all the memories
In these places that remind
White Faces in the Black Hills
Now we've got a new deal with no choice, you'll take it
Now we're living at the scene of the crime
We bought a one way ticket to the front of the line
Rushmore, no more
Deny our history
Rushmore, no more
It's there for all to see
Rushmore, no more
Deny our history
Rushmore, no more
And the day you realize the gift that you have
the more powerful you'll be
so the choice is up to you
are you going to trust that gift and believe in it
or are you just going to go ahead and say you're like everybody else
I respect you because you were created by God
And your mom, and your parents
The reason why I'm here
Is so that you can teach your children
Some say there's a residue
Of the things we do in the places we do them
Now we're living at the scene of the crime
