You took his pride and you fed him dirt
You wished him winter without a shirt
And you called this Red Man "Savage"
After you crushed him
You helped him up
To let him drink from an empty cup
You gave him the Navy without the fleet
And made him lick your hands
And kiss your feet
And you named this Mad Dog "Savage"
Well I found a book the other day
So I looked up Red and White
to see what it'd say
One was a savage the other unlearned
Like a look in the mirror
The tables were turned
For history has named you "Savage"
