"Avalanche (One Night Alone version)" Lyrics
Buy from iTunes: 
He was not or never had been in favor
Of setting our people free, oh no
If it wasn't 4 the 13th Amendment, yessir
We woulda been born in slavery
He was not or never had been in favor, no
Of letting us vote, so U see
Abraham Lincoln was a racist, oh yessir
Who said, "U cannot escape from history"
Chorus:
Like the snow comin' down the mountain
That landed on Wounded Knee
Nobody wants 2 take the weight
The responsibility
Ooh, hoo, hear the joyous sound of freedom
The Harlem Renaissance
Hear Duke Ellington and his band kick another jungle jam
Ooh, do U wanna dance?
(Who?) But who's that lurking in the shadows? (Who is it?)
Mr. John Hammond (With his pen in hand, pen in hand)
Oh he's sayin', "Sign your kingdom over 2 me, yeah
And be known throughout the land!"
Oh, but U ain't go no money, naw, U ain't got no cash
So U sign yo name, he claims innocence
Just like every snowflake in an avalanche
Oh, oh, oh...
(
Chorus)
Coming down the mountain
Oh, that landed, landed, landed, Wounded Knee
Oh, nobody, don't nobody wanna, don't nobody wanna take the weight
Of responsibi... responsibility
