You can call ‘em
Indians, indigenous
Or whatever you prefer
I call ‘em the landlords
Cuz that’s what they were
It’s a rare thought
That doesn’t occur
To those who refer to them as a slur

You can call’em
Indians, indigenous
Or whatever you prefer
By why call ‘em savages
That time-honored slur
When you are the savages
As it were
And the history books
Certainly concur

You can call’em
Indians, indigenous
Or whatever you prefer
But them saving your lives
Didn’t deter
You from slaughtering ‘em
For their pelts of fur
Which you seemed to accomplish
In a historical blur

You can call ’em
Indians, indigenous
Or whatever you prefer
And treat them like
They were demur
Then claim their land
By creating a stir
Which again and again reoccurred
