[Intro. (Electric Guitar)]
|
|
Don't you get tired
|
Of listening to the cover up
|
Sounds like a broken old record
|
When the needle gets stuck
|
|
You got your media honeys
|
Using their TV voice
|
Tellin' you what you done decided
|
As if you had any choice
|
|
And didn't they cry
|
And worry 'bout people of color
|
And didn't they mostly turn away
|
Keep us afraid of each other
|
|
And you know it's a lie
|
It ain't about people of color
|
The American Dream betrayed
|
And all of us feel the same rage
|
|
And it won't go away
|
|
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
|
|
Isn't it strange
|
Ain't it a mystery
|
How did he get it in his head
|
Somehow he could speak for me
|
|
Hey, if what he's been a' saying
|
Is actually what he believes
|
Then one of us surely is a fool
|
And you know that he thinks that it's me
|
|
And didn't they cry
|
And worry 'bout people of color
|
And didn't they mostly turn away
|
Keep us afraid of each other
|
|
And you know it's a lie
|
It ain't about people of color
|
The American Dream betrayed
|
And all of us feel the same rage
|
|
And it won't go away
|
|
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
|
|
Somebody wants us divided
|
Someone of evil intent
|
Trying to confuse and control
|
The minds of the innocent
|
|
And isn't it time
|
Good people have got to speak up
|
And you'll know exactly what to say
|
When you've finally had enough
|
|
Don't you go try
|
And blame it on people of color
|
And don't you dare turn away
|
Keep us afraid of each other
|
|
Cause you know it's a lie
|
It ain't about people of color
|
The American Dream betrayed
|
And all of us feel the same rage
|
|
And it won't go away
|
Won't go away
|
Won't go away
|
Won't go away
|
|
