Chiefs And Indians

(album: Blind Dog At St. Dunstans - 1976)

It's not very clear to me
Why we continue
I happened along just to see
If there's anything new
And I don't want to be the one to argue

If there's a part to play
I'll play it my way
And if you don't like what I say
My voice will just die away
I don't want to be the one to argue

Talking about chiefs and indians
And you really must agree
You've got to be a chief for one day
If you're an Indian for three
Talking bout dealing with business
And lazy lethargy
I'll tell you a game you must play
And the name's diplomacy

Talking about making a fool of you
While you're making a fool of me
You've got no time to boogaloo
When you've got so many people to see
I'm talking about Chiefs and Indians
And lazy lethargy
You can take your false confidence
And stick it where nobody can see

It's not very clear to me
Why we continue
I happened along just to see
If there's anything new
And I don't want to be the one to argue
