Same Thing(Album Version)

歌詞

Somewhere between prayer and revolution Between Jesus and Huey P. Newton That's where you find Jonny 5 shoot shootin Water guns at the audience while ya scootin' Your gluteous 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 while the vulture roars 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 studying Each day the same just the names keep changin 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 How many times can the line divide How many wars to uphold some pride Fears uncontrolled just swoll the tide Of blood in the streets while the people die Ima keep on tryin Longs as suffering's multiplyin And why not 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 on your face is the same as mine 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 I"ll 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 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 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 them 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 Bring back Martin Malcolm Medgar Hampton Goodman Schwerner Chaney
