lyrics

the heat was rising, civilians biting, through freedom writers writing, aimed at governmental tidings, towards the civil plighting, and international fighting, on the mekong

they didn't want another world war two, turned to world war three, it gave bobby the blues, and made others feel free, despite the hatred and killing that was going on then

folk was re-made, around the tuned parades, of interracial brigades, sufferin' savage raids, but the people sang, and their voices rang, "we shall overcome" them

nowadays i see, sailing on by me, a petty degree, of silhouettes to be, that shout that we shall overcome...wallstreet

but with such cold feet, around the powers to beat, who are powers indeed, laying cold concrete, who can really expect a change to be comin'

instead people yell, over mary jane's cell, who can smoke and tell, and who can sell, that homegrown bell, or the next adele, maybe if she fell, we could all take our eyes off for just one second

we would look around, and see people drowned, by the hungry hounds, who want another round, no matter the pound, or awful sound, injustice found--we've got something to fight for
