Lyrics:
From unmarked graves their bones cry out;
"Don't let what happened to us be forgotten"
Indian hunters were paid for each scalp by the government.
You have nothing to be proud of, my white friend.
but, it's your world. it's your world.
And, if ever there was a perfect crime...
if ever there was a perfect crime...

I grew up in an empty room in a foster house full of strangers.
every dream i had about going home never ever did come true.
They lie broken like the promises that litter every street and every alley in your world. In your world.
And if ever there was a perfect crime...
if ever there was a perfect crime...

From ourselves we hide, from the darkness deep inside.
You took away our pride. And you'll never know what you have done.

If ever there was a perfect crime...
If ever there was a perfect crime...
If ever there was a perfect crime...
If ever there was a perfect crime...

if ever there was a perfect crime...

From unmarked graves their bones cry out; "Don't let what happened to us be forgotten"
