Leonard Peltier In A Cage by The Goats Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 1992

("Ten Little Indians" plays in the background)

Barker: Live! Before your very own eyes! A real, native American Indian! You thought the last of the American Indians were killed off on "F-Troop". No Sir! We've got a live one right here! Leonard Peltier in a cage! Step right up! Step right up!
Chicken Little: Say Mr. Peltier, you don't look like a freak
Peltier: Well, Uncle Scam certainly thinks so
Chicken Little: Why'd he put you in a cage?
Peltier: It's all part of a freak show's Hippocratic balance. He let the freak Nelson Mandela out of his cage in a freak show in South Africa. So he needed to keep another freak in a cage here
Chicken Little: But you're not a freak; you're a native American
Peltier: I know, but at this carnival, that's good enough. I'm surprise your uncle hasn't seen your freak value yet
Chicken Little: Scam's our uncle. He's gonna take care of us
Peltier: Like me huh? Say kid, could you do me a favor? Could you ask them to stop playing that fake Indian music? Not only is it degrading, but if I hear it one more time I might really kill someone. Oh no, here come the carnival cops. They don't like me talking to the public. You better go
