Lyrics:

The difference between being on the bottom or the top
Is you fight for what you have
They fight for what you've got
And if what you have is what they want
They'll make the laws then break them
They see money, they'll remake them, they don't understand
We live on Indian land

We don't want this job creation, it involves annihilation
Of history engraved in stone
The economics of Northeast coal
In parliament we praise, minorities in other countries
Who fight for their land and die for freedom
Here we lock them up and cut them down
Down, down, down
We took their land, dilute their nations
Force them on to reservations
Corporate interest won't stop there
Take the trees and leave this homeland bare, oh no

I like the flute, but does that little instrumental refrain remind anyone else of the dancers from Spinal Tap\'s \"Stonehenge\"? Anyway, this was interesting to hear, but I\'m not sure if I like it.

Woo! Spirit of the West! (I grew up on the Canadian border, myself, so hearing the bands I used to hear back then always gives me a thrill.)
