Running wild - Genocide [Thin lizzy cover]

Running wild - Genocide
Taken from the 1991 EP Little Big Horn.
Lyrics:

Genocide

When they try to tell you knowledge is a dangerous thing
"It's such 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
"They can never win"
Let me get you out of 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 kindly to the killing of the
buffalo

When they tear up all the treaties and break up all the plans
"They break up all the plans"
Did you do your duty and kill on command?
Did you know the redman used to roam this land?
"He 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 that don't take kindly to the killing of the
buffalo, oh no

So listen to my story and listen to it well
"You better listen well"
Listen to the glory of the gory details of the tale I tell
Did you know the redman very well?
"I used to know him well"
Did you know the hunting ground before it became a hell?

There are people round here that are right
There are people round here that like to sleep at night
There are people round here I don't know
There are people round here that don't take kindly to the killing of
the buffalo

The killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffalo

The killing
The killing of the
The killing of the buffal
The killing of the buffal
The killing of the buffal
The killing of the buffal
The killing of the buffal
The killing
The killing of the buffal

So listen to my story of Genocide
How they were hunted and slaughtered till there was no place left to
hide
Did you know the redman used to hold his head with pride?
Till every man, woman and child were destroyed

There are people round here that get it right
There are people round here that couldn't sleep at night
There are people round here I don't know
There are people round here that don't take kindly to the killing of
the buffalo

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 too kindly to the killing
of the buffalo

The killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffalo
The killing
The killing of the
They're killing all the buffalo
The killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffalo
The killing
They're killing all the
They're killing all the buffalo
The killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffalo
The killing of the buffalo
The killing
The killing of the
The killing of the buffalo

Excellent cover, very well done, raw and inspiring

[JulioRwoger]

Yes man its so raw that i thought this song was the Running wild

[Georgeous129]

wow, this band really kicks ass

[JulioRwoger]

Certainly man

Running wild is simply formidable

[RainbowBlues13]

1983 I had Phil Lynott plastered all over my school folders. 1984 I got addicted to Running Wild when I heard them on the radio when I was grounded. Needless to say, the two biggest faves of my life!

THIS is the ONLY way that covers should EVER be done! You sing it the same! You play it the same! You keep it the same as the original so people still love it!

Considering we have a German singing an Irishman's song, this is a great version of one of my favouritest songs ever!

[jard18]

Valeu por postar este som, cara!

Um dos melhores covers de Thin Lizzy certamente

[jmoney31705]

WOOOOOOOW!!!!!!! ROCKIN!!!! PHIL WOULD BE GLAD HIS WORDS CONTINUED TO INSPIRE!!!!!!!!

[aceofbass83]

rockin!!!!

[trahanatzis]

the killing of the buffalo ...is still the problem ...so many years after !!! an hope that you know that (buffalo) was the name that use for the indians ..

[eveningtsar]

I didn't recognize it at first - it's much faster than the original, no?

But this is the best kind of cover. A new interpretation that nevertheless remains faithful to the spirit of the original. Covers that stick too close or stray too far don't do it for me.

(Then again, has Rvnning Wild ever let us down?)
