Indian Givers - Neil Young │ │ │ │ │ │ There’s a battle ragin on the sacred land Our brothers and sisters had to take a stand Against us now for what we been doin On a sacred land there’s a battle brewin I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news │ │ Well now it’s been a five hundred years We keep takin what we give away Just like what we call Indian Givers It makes you sick and gives you shivers I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news │ │ There’s money going backwards and ripping the soil Where graves are scatters and blood was boiled When all who look can see the truth But they just move on and keep there grove I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news │ │ Saw Happy locked to the big machine They had to cut him loose and you know what that means Yea that’s when Happy went to jail Behind big money justice always fails I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news │ │ Bring back the days when good was good Loose these imposters in our neighborhood ’cross our farms and through our waters All at the cost of our sons and daughters Yeah brave sons and beautiful daughters We’re all here together fighting ’poison water’ Standin’ against the evil ways That’s what we have at the end of day I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news I wish somebody would share the news │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │

La chanson évoque un conflit sur des terres sacrées, où des peuples, souvent marginalisés, s'opposent aux injustices et aux atteintes à leur héritage. Elle dénonce un cycle répétitif où l'on prend sans rendre, en faisant référence à un passé de colonisation et à l'exploitation des ressources naturelles, au détriment des générations présentes et futures. Il y a un appel à la conscience collective pour reconnaître les vérités dérangeantes derrière la façade des promesses non tenues et un souhait ardent pour que les injustices soient enfin portées à la connaissance de tous. Le contexte de cette œuvre s'inscrit dans une lutte plus large pour la reconnaissance des droits des peuples autochtones, mais aussi pour la protection de l'environnement, en mettant en lumière les conséquences néfastes de l’exploitation économique sur les communautés et la nature. Cela rappelle l'importance de l'action et de la solidarité face à ces enjeux cruciaux.
