They tag team our table
Around resources and cash
Like poker players eyeing
One anothers stash
They represent the province
They represent the feds
The rich folks who control them
Are safely in their beds.

We talk about the park land
And how we both agree
That soon it will not matter
What once belonged to me
We talk about the water
Like it was on the moon
If it was in our cups
We'd sing a different tune

We talk about the church
And residential school
And how the present parties
Just want to do whats cool
Meanwhile those who witnessed
The nightmare which took place
Are reeling lost and lonely
Around in their own space.

We talk about the crown land
Which is fading very fast
And we select what they don't want
As if our role was cast
While land trusts and developers
Make their back room deals
As they tell us how they sympathize
And know just how it feels.

After all these meetings
Have lasted for awhile
They pack up their notebooks
And leave us with a smile
We look in to our bag
To see what we have won
And out jumps taxation
And our troubles
Have just begun.
