This is the cut I've been wanting to hear the most off the Limited Edition SOUNGARDEN cd BADMOTORFINGER that a bud has had for awjile. I've been askin' & askin' time & again for him to give it back to me....& I finally got it back tonight!
You may know that this track is Black Sabbath music combined with an Indian Chief's words:
Into The Void~ SOUNDGARDEN
How can you buy or sell the sky
Or the warmth of the land it's strange to us
We don't own the freshness of the air
Or the sparkle of the water
How can you buy them from us
The white man doesn't understand our ways
For he's a stranger who comes in the night
And takes from the land just what he needs
Oh yeah
He treats his brothers like his enemies
When it's completed he moves on
He leaves his father's grave and his birthright
His birthright is forgotten
The air is precious to the red man
For all things share the same breath
The white man won't notice the air he breathes
Like a man dying for many days
All right now
The whites must treat the beasts of his land
As his brothers not his enemies
Tell me what is man without the beasts
I'll bet he will die of loneliness
One thing we know that the white man will
We know our god is the same god
You may think you wish to own him
Own him as you wish to own our land
But he is the body of man
And the earth is precious to him
Continue to contaminate your bed
And you will suffocate in your waste
Music: F. Iommi, W. Ward, J. Osbourne, T. Butler
Lyrics: Chief Sealth
This track is now on youtube for those of you that don't have this:
Great to hear again! All the songs on the Bonus Disc are real good:
2 more are covers--
Girl U Want ~ DEVO
Stray Cat Blues ~ Stones
These may be covers too, but if so, don't know who did 'em originally. Lost my cd booklet.
She's A Politician
Slaves & Bulldozers
Of course, the main cd is great too! Rusty Cage, Outshined, etc.
