about

Inspired by and written in response to Thomas King's incredible novel, Green Grass, Running Water.

lyrics

Water, water, is all, it seems
Lakes and puddles, trickling streams
Coyote does what Coyote means
Breaking down dams with stories and dreams

God the white man rolls up his sleeves
Indian woman’s gonna have to leave
Jesus and Noah, Ahdamn and Eve
It’s Christian rules, now you better believe

Famous explorers or murderin’ men?
On who tells the story it all depends
Rights to fight for, land to defend
or Treaties to break and people to bend

Cowboys and Indians, good guys win
John Wayne and the fairer skin
Anything else would be a capital sin
It’s the White House, white man, Hollywood spin
