It just must be time - For history to repeat

Let's go get the Indians - They seem to be on their feet

What gives them the right - To take care of their own

We settled all the treaties - But they still piss and moan!!

Sure, some of our forefather’s - Got a little out of hand

But that was back then - Now this is our land

We gave them casino gambling - And they’ve made quite a haul

They’ve raised their standard of living - That really takes gaul!!

If you really look closely - You have to admit

Those of us that are gamblers - Are taking the hit

We’re the real dummies - Paying the bill

So our red brothers can prosper - Now that’s a bitter pill!!

So our governor the Swede - Has come up with a plan

Let’s blackmail the Indians - Now that’s a cute scam

The original purpose - Though few remember now

Was to keep gambling very limited - And help mankind, somehow!!

Then enter the lobbyists - Hired guns dressed in black

Their plans covered all bases - Only compassion was there a lack

We’re saving the Twins - Let’s win one for Carl

Let’s throw in Canterbury - Someone yells with a snarl!!

Someone go find a scapegoat - With money to boot

Hey! Listen I’ve got it - These people we can loot

We play up their wealth - And downplay the past

At first they’ll scream loud - But you know it won’t last!!

We’ll bring in our guns - Our grandfathers will smile

Another win for the palefaces - Through trickery and guile

And Minneapolis will be saved - From the biggest embarrassment of all

And forty lobbyist’s will take credit - For saving baseball!!

Now before this all happens - Let’s the rest of us speak

We’ve got enough gambling - No more do we seek

The Indians earned what they have - It wasn’t our gift

Let’s all live as equals - And not start another rift!!
