Well, the boys came lookin' for their soul 
They wanted all the world to see 
So they took Alcatraz and did a graveyard dance 
All they wanted was some dignity 
But from a rerun story from a late, late show 
Where the Indian gets no amnesty 
And spends the rest of his life in a Kansas cell 
At the bottom of priority 

High and dry, left to take another's blame 
High and dry, first hand knowledge of an innocent man 
You can hear him cryin' down in ol' K City 
Hear him up at Wounded Knee 
For the rest of his life in a Kansas cell 
At the bottom of priority 

Well, locked up, forgotten, tucked outta the way 
And treated like he wasn't a man 
They took their aim and wasn't it a shame 
How we stuck our head into the sand 
Well, it was way too late for the government 
They had to make somebody plea 
And spend the rest of his life in Kansas cell 
At the bottom of priority 

High and dry, left to take another's blame 
High and dry, first hand knowledge of an innocent man 
You can hear him cryin' down in ol' K City 
Hear him up at Wounded Knee 
For the rest of his life in a Kansas cell 
At the bottom of priority 
For the rest of his life in a Kansas cell 
At the bottom of priority
