What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well, I jumped so high
2
Knocked the table over
3
Thought I saw a ghost
4
Come out of the clover
5
She lived in this house
6
Forty odd years or so
7
She was buried in the back
8
With the English and the natives
9
Slaughtered like sheep
10
Women and babies
11
A lot of blood and tears
12
Three hundred years ago
13
It's like they're caught up in the trees
14
In the webs of spiders
15
Spun out of leaves
16
Ghostly riders
17
Lookin' for a trail
18
To find their way back home
19
But there's nothing back there or tomorrow
20
No place they can put their sorrow
21
Heavy as death
22
Cold as a broken stone
23
And I call this place my homeland
24
And I claim this land I own
25
But it belongs to another people
26
They possess it in their bones
27
Well, I can hear them in the night
28
Like a hundred televisions
29
Hummin' down low beneath the subdivisions
30
All they really want is if we can hear 탢??em now
31
They been troublin' this plain
32
Looking for attention
33
Making crazy tracks
34
They need an intervention
35
All they really want
36
Is to get back home somehow
37
So build up a fire
38
Say a little prayer
39
Cook a little meat
40
Pull 탢??em up a chair
41
And offer them a plate
42
Maybe we can all find peace
43
You can't bury anything, men or nations
44
Old memories, old vibrations
45
The pain doesn't stop just because the killing ceased
46
And I call this place my homeland
47
And I claim this land I own
48
It belongs to another people
49
They possess it in their bones
50
Well, I jumped so high
51
Straight up off the bedsheet
52
Nightmare sky
53
Bloody with the red heat
54
Started to shake
55
Cause I couldn't find my way back home
56
Well, I landed in the ditch
57
Landed in the gutter
58
Landed in arms of my long lost mother
59
Cryin' like a child
60
While the Bayou Pierre groaned
61
And I call this place my homeland
62
And I love this land I own
63
It belongs to another people
64
They possess it in their bones
65
Yeah, I call this place my homeland
66
And I claim this land I own
67
But it belongs to another people
68
They possess it in their bones
