Somewhere between prayer and revolution Between Jesus and Huey P. Newton That's where you find Johnny Five Shoot shootin Water guns at the audience while youre scootin' Your gluteus max due to the fact that I'm tootin' On the horn gonna warn you that I'm rootin' For the other team in the culture wars So I stab the beast belly as the vulture snores YO JOE! Let it blow with convulsive force Til walls fall off their false supports Til Jericho's aircraft carriers alter course And all brave young Americans are called ashore Cause we've already lost the war they keep wagin Splattering the streets in battles that keep ragin Bloodyin each page of the story that we're studyin Each day the same just the names keep changin
Hook: Saying the same things over again Repeatin the same slogans we don't know where we've been We've been all over the globe on our government's funds Leavin man, woman, and child dead bloody and numb Saying the same things over again Repeatin the same slogans we don't know where we've been We've been overthrowing leaders with legitimate views Democratically elected but we didn't approve....
(verse two) How many times can the line divide How many wars to uphold your pride These fears uncontrolled just swoll the tide Of blood in the streets while the people die I'ma keep on tryin Longs as suffering's multiplyin And why not These souls get tossed and left out to rot My backs broad enough to help left your cross As long as you help with mine The process of healing will take some time To see the pain in your face is the same as mine It's not a game or a race but the stake is high We maintain our mistakes for the sake of sides As long as it takes Ill say it one more time As long as it takes I'll say it one more time As long as it takes I'll say it one more time
Hook
Same thing U.S. is not us Same thing And us is not we Same thing And we are not satisfied Same thing Were tired of the same thing Same thing And were ready to make change Same thing Are we ready to make change?
(verse three) We need money for healthcare and public welfare Free Mumia and Leonard Peltier Human needs, not corporate greed Drop the debt and legalize weed We say 'yes' to grassroots organization 'No' to neoliberal globalization Bring the troops back to the USA And shut down Guantanamo Bay
Who let em overthrow Jacobo Arbenz Who let em overthrow Mohammad Mosaddeq Who let em assassinate Salvador Allende I didn't let em but they did it anyway Who let em overthrow Kwame Nkrumah Who let em overthrow Aristide Who let em assassinate Oscar Romero I didn't let em but they did indeed!
Don't let them assassinate Hugo Chavez Don't let them assassinate Evo Morales And bring back Martin, Malcolm, Medgar, Hampton, Schwerner, Goodman, Chaney
