Lyrics
"..when will you be satisfied?
..'till justice runs down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream"
Greed's production predicts the function. How far can we go?
Our God's forsaking as our nation's breaking.
When will we say no?
Chorus:
All these politicians make me lose my head.
Make them pay the prices at the pump instead.
They don't understand what we are going through.
If they just were like us they would have a clue.
Never ending, the story's bending.
We are in the hole.
Lies are spilling, my soul is reeling.
They have lost control.
Chorus
If they just were like us, if they were JUST like us.
"I have a dream! We will be able to hue out of the mountain of despair,
a stone of hope. This nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of it's creed."
Chorus
"To remind America of the fierce urgency of now. When will you be satisfied?
.. so let freedom ring!"
~words in quotes are from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech.
