Jim Thorpe's Blues Lyrics - Singles - Terri Hendrix

One, two 

One, two, three, go 

The great Jim Thorpe was Indian pride 

The athlete of the century was cast aside 

They took his medals right out of his hand 

And buried nuclear waste on Indian land 

Nuclear waste on Indian land 

We've got high tech people with low tech souls 

And dot com Wi-Fi Internet polls 

We curse the wind and use the sun to tan 

And bury nuclear waste on Indian land 

Nuclear waste on Indian land 

Run Geronimo run 

They're gonna seal the deal with a forked tongue 

If you knew back then what we know now 

You'd run Geronimo run, keep on running, yeah 

We've got arrow heads, we've got beaded bags 

With made in China sticker covered up by price tags 

Something for nothing will one day be 

Nothing for something for you and me 

Nothing for something for you and me 

All I know about Indian history 

Is what I've seen on the TV screen 

I've been a tourist, I've had my picture made 

And spent a fortune on a slot machine that never paid 

Nothing for something for you and me 

Run Geronimo run 

They're gonna seal the deal with a forked tongue 

If you knew back then what we know now 

You'd run Geronimo run, keep on running, yeah 

The great Jim Thorpe was Indian pride 

The athlete of the century was cast aside 

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust 

It's anybody's guess who we can trust 

Now it's the guys in ties who will shake your hand 

And bury nuclear waste on Indian land 

Nuclear waste on Indian land 

Run Geronimo run 

They're gonna seal the deal with a forked tongue 

If you knew back then what we know now 

You'd run Geronimo run, keep on running, keep on running, yeah
