[00:00.10]Medicinals - PJ Harvey
[00:00.33]I was walking through the national mall
[00:03.44]Thinking about medicinals how they used to grow there
[00:08.41]
[00:11.04]When the ground was a marshland
[00:13.47]Undisturbed by human hands and I heard their voices
[00:18.71]
[00:21.18]Sumac said we're always here
[00:23.74]Witch hazel we're always here
[00:26.23]Sassafras we're always here
[00:28.73]Bluestem grasses always here
[00:30.90]
[00:55.37]I looked about and what I see
[00:58.15]Medicinals grow around me rising from the gravel
[01:03.29]
[01:05.83]Sumac and the witch hazel
[01:08.35]Come to soothe our primal sores come to soothe our troubles
[01:13.51]
[01:16.03]Sumac said we're always here
[01:18.59]Witch hazel we're always here
[01:21.06]Sassafras we're always here
[01:23.59]Bluestem grass is always here
[01:25.78]
[01:29.38]But do you see that woman sitting in the wheelchair
[01:38.81]
[01:39.91]With her redskins cap on backwards
[01:43.48]
[01:45.58]What's that she's singing
[01:48.63]
[01:49.72]As from inside a paper wrapper
[01:53.93]
[01:55.49]She sips from a bottle
[01:59.58]
[02:00.54]A new painkiller
[02:04.79]
[02:05.94]For the native people
