`Living On Stolen Goods'

Oh, many, many ages ago
Red people lived alone
At peace with the buffalo
Oh, they’re living on stolen goods.

To make money they came
The Anglos and their slaves
For housework they had their dames
Oh, they’re living on stolen goods.

And they brought with them their guns
And whipped and shot Black ones
They brainwashed their children
Oh, they’re living on stolen goods.

And westward ho! they marched
And shot down the reds who tried to resist
And this whole land they robbed
Oh, they’re living on stolen goods.

And they cramped the red people in camps
And they ghettoized the Blacks
And now they’re into Asia
Oh, they’re living on stolen goods.

Amerika, your riches
Are based on your robbery
You rich fascists are doomed
‘Cause you’re living on stolen goods.

Yes, many, many ages ago
Red people lived alone
At peace with the buffalo
Oh, they’re living on stolen goods.

The Living On Stolen Goods protest folk song was written in the Spring of 1971. The words for the song came to me while riding on a bus through Harlem, into the Bronx and Westchester and up to Boston for a day trip.
