Basic Rule
Father Sun gave us permission,
Mother Earth led us through
When we jumped in a Holly Mission
And evangelized a Jew...
When we jumped in the sacred ocean
Of our lust and a basic fire
When the spirit of our devotion
Lifted us in a charm of desire.
When we had our first cup of tea
And we walked along the river
Hoping that in the next tee-pee
All the world will be just different.
Different men, different kids, different women
Different law about love and kindness
Do not lie, do not steal, do not kill:
Indian Village Happiness.
