An Indian woman buried her grandpa in the Black Hills When she was young he used to tell her That these hills belonged to her still And even though injustice took them hills away "One day we'll get them back," he said "And the sun's gonna shine that day" "When we say, right the wrong" Before she laid him down to rest She heard his voice in the wilderness Saying "I got six feet of it back" "And now we can right the wrong" Right the wrong Hear the song Before long you won't hear nothin' but the crackle of flames Right the wrong Hear the song Would you rather die knowing that you did or keep living in shame Did you hear the one about the boy just 17 Three years hard time for stealing ice cream First offense and all his dreams are gone How long before they right the wrong? Right the wrong Hear the song Before long you won't hear nothin' but the crackle of flames Right the wrong Hear the song Would you rather die knowing that you did or keep living in shame Right the wrong Two, three, uh One, two, one-two, come on (Right the wrong baby) Far be it from me to say It seem like we could stop the flow of snow in the sky today But I guess the weather man he likes the rain Ain't that insane Now sing Right the wrong Hear the song Before long you won't hear nothin' but the crackle of flames Right the wrong Hear the song Would you rather die knowing that you did or keep living in shame? (Come on, come on, come on) Did you hear me baby? Right the wrong I'm six feet in the grave I'm six feet in the grave (right right, right right) (right the wrong right the wrong) [Repeat: x2] Right the wrong (right the wrong right the wrong) (right the wrong right the wrong) [Repeat: x3] Right the wrong (right the wrong right the wrong) Ashes to ashes, dust to dust (right the wrong right the wrong) This young man with a talented soul (right the wrong right the wrong) Died when he wanted to (right the wrong right the wrong) The light that lives (right the wrong right the wrong) So he shall not be pitied Nor shall the guilty be forgiven Until they find it in their hearts to Right the wrong
