lyrics

I’ll take you down
Catch you with your skin off
Gonna wipe that grin off
Toss you right to the ground
I’m gonna crush you
Bulldoze you down

We are people
We are fighting
Love, community
Don’t take what we treasure
Don’t erase our history
We are people
We are fighting
Love, community
Don’t take what we treasure
Don’t erase our history

Save the grain (We should stand up for what’s right)
Make the chain (We have to be willing to fight)
Save the grain (We should stand up for what’s right)
Make the chain

You better step right back
You can stop your squakin’
No use in a-talkin’
Gonna crush it all to ash
And if you fight me
Baby, you can kiss my
Kiss my
Kiss my dust
Kiss my
Kiss my dust
What you say?
Kiss my
Kiss my dust

See, it all started at the steel bridge
The saga just begin
We rallied around and we called all our friends
To put this villainy to an end.
Then with their vicious act
Coming at us with this big hotel deal
We took ‘em to court for that
And we won
We got our land back
See, it’s like peas to a pod
Beat to a pulse
What you fail to realize
This is the standoff

Kiss my
Kiss my dust
What you say?

Save (Kiss my)
The (Kiss my dust)
Grain

Save (Kiss my)
The (Kiss my dust)
Grain
It started right here

Make (Kiss my)
The (Kiss my dust)
Chain
I’ll take you down
It started right here
