lyrics

Crazy Horse never died.
Crazy Horse never died.
He's alive.

The whiteman came to Crazy Horse's home
and wanted buried resources there to run
their whitemen's world, but Crazy Horse said no.

Crazy Horse said, "What lies beneath this
Black Hills soil is our own."

So the whitemen called Crazy Horse
and his people pagans, said they
practiced dangerous religions,
said they wore funny things on
their heads. The whitemen said,
"You can't stop us; God is on our side;
it says so in the Bible. You are few
and you are ignorant. We are many and
we are civilized."

So Crazy Horse's people
took to terrorism.

They killed isolated whitemen;
they scalped and disemboweled them.
Other tribes said, "He's a madman."
The Crows helped to chase him.
And Crazy Horse took hostages.

The whitemen back in Washington said,
"Crazy Horse is crazy." They said,
"Don't he see we're the real God's chosen,
picked to be the future, picked to save
the world?"

They said, "In God's name, we will show him.
We will teach that pagan devil."
So they mounted up an expedition
to go and kill the pagan devil.
And at its head rode General Custer.
At its head rode General Custer.
They sent General Custer.

And Crazy Horse never died.
Crazy Horse never died.

He's alive.
