Bottom Of Priority Lyrics

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
