Great White Buffalo Lyrics
Well, listen everybody,
to what I got to say.
There's hope for tomorrow,
Ooh,we're workin'on today.
Well,it happened long time ago,
in the new magic land.
The Indian and the buffalo,
they existed hand in hand....
The Indian needed food,
he needed skins for a roof.
But he only took what they needed,baby.
Millions of buffalo were the proof.
Yeah,its all right.
But then came the white man,
with his thick and empty head.
He couldnt see past the billfold,
he wanted all the buffalo dead.
It was sad...It was sad.
Oh yeah...yes indeed.
Oh yes,
it happened a long time ago,baby.
In the new magic land.
See,the Indian and the buffalo,
they existed hand in hand.
The Indians,they needed some food,
and some skins for a roof.
They only took what they needed,baby.
millions of buffalo were the proof,yeah.
But then came the white dogs,
with their thick and empty heads.
They couldnt see past the billfold.
they wanted all the buffalo dead.
Everything was SO sad.
When I looked above the canyon wall,
some strong eyes did I see.
I think its somebody comin' around
to save my ass,baby.
I think...I think he's comin' around
to save you and me.
Boys......
I said, above the canyon wall...
strong eyes did glow.
It was the leader of the land,baby.
OH MY GOD,
The GREAT WHITE BUFFALO.....
LOOK OUT!!!! LOOK OUT!!!!!!!
Well,he got the battered herd.
He led em cross the land.
With the Great White Buffalo,
they gonna make a final stand.
The Great White Buffalo,
comin'around to make a final stand.
Well,look out here he comes.
The great white buffalo,baby.
The Great White Buffalo....
Look out,here he comes.
He's doin'all right.
Makin'everything all right.
Yeah,yeah,yeah.....
to what I got to say.
There's hope for tomorrow,
Ooh,we're workin'on today.
Well,it happened long time ago,

i love this fucking song i cant belive no ones commented wtf. anyway its abvoisly all about the great white buffalo a creature wich pretty much ruled this land untill they were killed off. anyway i love this song someone else please comment
this song is absolutely incredible, the instaments and lyrics are awesome, and who doesnt love a song about how we are an intrusive greedy race that dont respect anything for it true value.
Truly wonderful song - from a committed believer in the gun culture!!
best song in the world, well if not it comes very close. i love this song it has such an awesome riff.
more people need to comment this.
Great song. Ted kinda sounds like he's a conservationist. I've never heard him talk about conservation outside of this song though. Would be great if he did. Maybe he could get the republican base off some of their stupid policies like "drill baby drill" and all that. I swear, some people wouldn't mind burning all U.S.'s forests down and farming the land, just to make some more profit. Then they'd wonder why there is such a pest problem, after they created the perfect environment for them, and destroyed their predators habitat. On a side note, that's why the deer population is so high. We removed all the wolves.
LOL. This is probably too political for this site, but I'm drunk and I'm going to post it anyway.
you say 'profit' like its a bad thing. Profit and conservation can co-exist. Where do you think the money that you have comes from? Your money probably comes from some guy (boss/owner)that desires profit and some of that energy from that drive ends up being your paycheck

One of my favorite songs...just love the guitar in this...and the build up to "Look out, Look out!". Awesome.
Well listen everybody, To what I gotta say. There's hope for tomorrow, If we wake up today.
Well it happened long ago, In the new magic land. The Indians and the buffalo, Existed hand-in-hand. Well the Indians needed food, And skins for a roof. Only took what they needed, Millions of buffalo were the proof.
I said, hey!
Well then came the white man, With his sick and empty head. He couldn't see past the bill-fold, He wanted all the buffalo dead. So the Indians hid in fear, There were no buffalo to be found. A magic seemed to be missin', Started to look like a barren ground.
But above the canyon walls, Strong eyes did glow. The leader of the land, The great white buffalo! The great white buffalo! The great white buffalo!
Well he saw the 'bandoned herd, And he led 'em 'cross the land. With the great white buffalo, They could make a final stand.
Hey!
Oh, listen everybody! To what I gotta say! There's hope for tomorrow! If we wake up today! There's hope for tomorrow! If we wake up today! The great white buffalo! That great white buffalo! The great! White! Buffalo!
