Kevin Costner’s Casino lyrics

by

The Lawrence Arms


[Verse 1]
Hey Kevin, exploitation's nothing new, its perfect disguise is you
Your headdress and authentic moccasins
You seem just like a righteous man, exposing our great land
For what it is, the ultimate grand larceny

[Chorus 1]
But who would have thought when you danced, dollar signs were in your eyes?
Above and beyond your large share in Hollywood
You were a wolf in sheep's clothing to a wolf and a people
And your bad actions by far outweigh the good

[Verse 2]
The theoretical "Oh, we f*cked over the Native Americans"
Is no match for consciously stuffing your di*k in
Reservations are already a pathetic compensation
As are the "rights" we grudgingly give them

[Verse 3]
A casino could be the only way to rejuvenate collapsed economies
Of reservation Indians
But are profits from casinos enough compensation for the fact that we stuffed a huge nation
Of people into a few tiny towns and raped and murdered their traditions?

[Chorus 2]
We stole the land and beat them down
The casinos are f*cking corporate run and here's a check for the use of sacred burial grounds
Then the casino's f*cking done giving back to the Indian
Except for janitor jobs and garbage by the ton
(Tough guy eight count)

[Verse 4]
And old Kevin is his own conglomerate
Exploitation through a movie, then through blackjack and roulette
Don't attend or rent his sh*tty films
Because his killing at the box office is not the only thing that he's killed
