about

This song is inspired by indigenous Native American tribes who consult a council of bleeding women on all major decisions.

lyrics

BUFFALO WOMAN

I don’t wanna be a woman in power like a man in power, a woman bleeds. The bleeding women slept with their heads in the centre to dream a collective dream, to find out where the buffalo were

I don’t want to be a woman in power like a man in power, a woman cries, I feel the pain of my child in my own cells, I do not sleep if he’s in danger, I do not sleep if he’s at war, I go out onto the streets and stand in front of the machines

I want to do it together with you, man in power, but I do it in my way
Cos I need you and you need me

I’m coming back to the centre of the government
I’m gonna bleed in the centre of the government
I’m gonna feel, I’m gonna cry, I’m gonna dream-see where the buffalo have gone

I don’t believe anymore that I’m dirty, or that I’m cursed, I don’t believe anymore that I’m weak, I will end every war, I will feed every child, I will stop the destruction of everything that I love

Love is the most powerful thing in the universe and I know how to wield it, yes I know how to feel it

I’m coming back to the centre of the government
I’m gonna bleed in the centre of the government
I’m gonna feel, I’m gonna cry, I’m gonna dream-see where the buffalo have gone

And will you stand by me, will you stand by me? Will you recognise me, will you recognise me? The time has come I can’t wait any longer, my heart is breaking, I’m coming in with my love, I’m coming in, I’m coming in, I’m coming back to the centre of the government
