The Indian Chief

An old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a ceremonial pipe and eying two U.S.government officials sent to interview him.
"Chief Two Eagles," asked one official, "You have
observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his material wealth. You've seen his progress, and his failures."
The chief nodded in agreement. The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"
The chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and then calmly replied, "When white man found the land, Indians were running it. No taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, women did all the work,
medicine man free, Indian man spent all day hunting
and fishing, all night having sex."
Then the chief inhaled from his pipe, leaned back, slowly exhaled and watched the smoke rise into the air. With a twinkle in his steel gray eyes he ever so slightly smiled and said, "Only white man dumb enough to think he
could improve system like that."

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend

For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
