Buffy Sainte-Marie – No No Keshagesh lyrics
I never saw so many business suits.
Never knew a dollar sign that looked so cute.
Never knew a junkie with a money Jones
:
He's singing, "Who's selling Park Place. Who's buying Boardwalk"?
These old men they make their dirty deals.
Go in the back room and see what they can steal.
Talk about your beautiful and spacious skies.
It's about uranium; it's about the water rights.
Put Mother Nature on a luncheon plate.
They cut her up and call it real estate.
Want all the resources and all of the land.
They make a war over it: Blow things up for it.
The reservation now is poverty row.
There's something cooking and the lights are low.
Somebody's trying to save our mother earth.
I'm gonna help them to save it,
To sing it and bring it

Singing: No no Keshagesh:
You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)
No, no, no, no Keshagesh
You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)
No, no, no, no Keshagesh
You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)
No, no, no, no Keshagesh
You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)

Ole Columbus he was looking good,
When he got lost in our neighborhood.
Garden of Eden right before his eyes.
Now it's all spy ware: now it's all income tax.
Ole' brother Midas looking hungry today.
What he can't buy he'll get some other way.
Send in the troopers if the natives resist.
Old, old story boys, that's how you do it boys.
Look at these people; ah they're on a roll.
Gonna have it all, gonna have complete control.
Want all the resources and all of the land.
They'll break the law for it: Blow things up for it.
When all our champions are off in the war,
Their final rip off here and is always on.
Mr. Greed I think your time has come.
We're gonna sing it and pray it and live it then say it.

Singing: No no Keshagesh:
You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)
No, no, no, no Keshagesh
You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)
No, no, no, no Keshagesh
You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)
No, no, no, no Keshagesh
You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)

    Buffy "remembers the fates of the nuclear ages' first miners, many indian, who during the forties ad fifties mined and milled uranium without protective clothing or respiratory masks, and with little knowledge of the omnipresent danger. At open pit mines, tailings hold up to eighty percent of the uranium ore's original radioactivity. Broad sweeps of indian land in saskatchewan and new mexico have been made unlivable for the next few thousand generations... In no no keshagesh buffy attacks the turbo-capitalism forced on indigenous peoples by globalization. In a system where nothing is sacred, priests called shareholders sacrifice nature on stock market altars to an idol called the maximization of profit. " (quote from dust jacket of 'indian country".)
