When they try to tell you knowledge is a dangerous thing
The people that have it are the people that sin
And the people that need it are the people that can never win
Let me get you outta here, little broken wing
There are people ’round here that are right
There are people ’round here that like to sleep at night
There are people ’round here that go slow
There are people ’round here that don’t take kindly to the killin’ of the buffalo
When they tear up all the treaties and break up all the plans
Did you do your duty and kill on command?
Did you know the red man used to roam this land?
Now the souls of lost warriors blow across the sands
People ’round here, they get it right
People ’round here, we like to sleep at night
There are people ’round here that go slow
People ’round here, they don’t take kindly to the killin’ of the buffalo
So listen to my story and listen to it well
Listen to the glory of the gory details of the tale I tell
Did you know the red man very well?
Did you know the hunting ground before it became a hell?
So listen to my story of genocide (Mm)
How they were hunted and slaughtered till there was no place left to hide (Mm)
Did you know the red man used to hold his head with pride? (Mm)
Till every man, woman and child were destroyed (Mm)
There are people ’round here that understand
There are people ’round here that couldn’t give a damn
There are people ’round here that go slow
There are people ’round here that don’t take kindly to the killin’ of the buffalo

At his audition for PF the band didn’t ask to play as they knew he was a good but this wasn’t good enough for Snowy. They were making the Animals (January-1977) album at the time and because of the peculiarities of 8-track tape running length needed a middle section to to join ‘Pigs On The Wing (Parts1 & 2)’. They let him do it which when you think about it was quite musically generous. Here’s this little known version:
