Thin Lizzy - Genocide (The Killing of the Buffalo) (1980) FLAC
“Genocide (The Killing of the Buffalo)“ was released in 1989 on Thin Lizzy’s Chinatown album. It’s always been one of my favorite songs by this band.
*UPDATE_MAY 7, 2012*
Unfortunately this video has now become my little dedication to Lightning Medicine Cloud, the white buffalo calf that was slaughtered in Greenville, Texas at home on it’s ranch, just days before it’s 1st birthday. What twisted freak has visited such horror on this beautiful, mythical; and to many, sacred creature? It’s such a crime against not only nature, but humanity as well, when you think of all the smiles and joyful hearts that once were in the future for generations of visitors to this mythical beast, but will now never come to pass. I remember when he was born, it was so cool and special and made me smile, now I don’t even want to see pictures of him anymore because because it’s now all just to whatever slug for ruining that particular little piece of happiness for us all. RIP Lightning Medicine made it almost a year in this world little the same amount of time that it didn’t deserve you in the first place.
“Genocide (the Killing of the Buffalo)“ was released in 1980 on Thin Lizzy’s album Chinatown. I thought Chinatown, and the album they released right after in in 1981 Renegade, were both outstanding albums which were very underrated at the time they were released. This Lizzy is one of the very best, with so many songs to choose from, so it was tough to pick which one to do. Genocide (The Killing of the Buffalo) is here mainly because I like the narrative and the lyrics.
The video is very simple and is of course mostly images of the Native Americans and their of which were nearly wiped off the face of the earth by the advance of western “civilization“.
I hope the video can relay some sense of the beauty, spiritualism, and tragedy of the north American native Indian tribes.
[Lyrics]
When they try to tell you knowledge is a dangerous thing
“it’s such a dangerous thing“
The people that have it are the people that sin
And the people that need it are the people that can never win
“they can never win“
Let me get you out of here little broken wing
There are people round here that are right
There are people round here that like to sleep at night
There are people round here that go slow
There are people round here that don’t kindly to the killing of the buffalo
When they tear up all the treaties and break up all the plans
“they break up all the plans“
Did you do your duty and kill on command?
Did you know the redman used to roam this land?
“he used to roam this land“
Now the souls of lost warriors blow across the sands
People round here they get it right
People round here we like to sleep at night
There are people round here that go slow
People round here that don’t take kindly to the killing of the buffalo, oh no
So listen to my story and listen to it well
“you better listen well“
Listen to the glory of the gory details of the tale I tell
Did you know the redman very well?
“i used to know him well“
Did you know the hunting ground before it became a hell?
There are people round here that are right
There are people round here that like to sleep at night
There are people round here I don’t know
There are people round here that don’t take kindly to the killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing
The killing of the
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing
The killing
So listen to my story of genocide
How they were hunted and slaughtered till there was no place left to hide
Did you know the redman used to hold his head with pride?
Till every man, woman and child were destroyed
There are people round here that get it right
There are people round here that couldn’t sleep at night
There are people round here I don’t know
There are people round here that don’t take kindly to the killing of the buffalo
There are people round here that understand
There are people round here that couldn’t give a damn
There are people round here that go slow
There are people round here that don’t take too kindly to the killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing
The killing of the
They’re killing all the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing
They’re killing all the
They’re killing all the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing of the buffala-o
The killing
The killing
The killing of the buffala-o phil lynott gibson
