Up in North Dakota where the old Missouri runs
Morton County Police carry military guns
Serving as the army for the big oil interests
HSBC, Chase and TD all have placed their bets
I don’t have the big solution to cure it all
But I’m gonna make my contribution
Send it out to Cannon Ball
Send it out to Cannon Ball
Your battleground is a sacred ground we hear Lakota say
But that don't count like half a million barrels every day
They’ll run it through the river where the prairie people drink
While poison’s in the pipes that run in Michigan kitchen sinks
You say you wanna stop pollution buddy don't we all
It’s time to make your contribution
Send it out to Cannon Ball
Send it out to Cannon Ball
CitiBank, Citizens Bank, Barclay’s Bank, Wells Fargo Bank
Police protect private profit, public protests police stop it
Now all the tribes are gathered at the camp of Sacred Stones
Peacefully demanding leave our precious land alone!
Driven from their home because they found a prize to take
The story’s all the same from the Black Hills to the Black Snake
I can't stand to wait forever, we ain’t got that long
Sooner or later it’s now or never, if you’re not right you’re wrong
I’m going out to the Reservation, I can hear them call
I wanna dance with the Great Sioux Nation
Way out there in Cannon Ball
Way out there in Cannon Ball
I’m goin’ out, I’m goin’ out, I’m goin’ out to Cannon Ball
I’m goin’ out, I’m goin’ out, I’m goin’ out to Cannon Ball
I’m goin’ out, I’m goin’ out, I’m goin’ out to Cannon Ball
I’m goin’ out, I’m goin’ out, I’m goin’ out to Cannon Ball
