Versuri 01. The Power of Equality

Swing 
 
I've got a soul that cannot sleep 
At night when something just ain't right 
Blood red but without sight 
Exploding egos in the night 
 
Mix like sticks of dynamite 
Red black or white, this is my fight 
Come on courage, let's be heard 
Turn feelings into words 
 
American equality has always been sour 
An attitude, I would like to devour 
My name is peace, this is my hour 
Can I get just a little bit of power 
 
The power of equality 
Is not yet what it ought to be 
It fills me up like a hollow tree 
The power of equality 
 
Right or wrong, my song is strong 
You don't like it, get along 
Say what I want, do what I can 
Death to the message of the Ku Klux Klan 
 
I don't buy supremacy 
Media chief, you menace me 
The people you say 'cause all the crime 
Wake up motherfucker and smell the slime 
 
Blackest anger, whitest fear 
Can you hear me, am I clear 
My name is peace, this is my hour 
Can I get just a little bit of power 
 
The power of equality 
Is not yet what it ought to be 
It fills me up like a hollow tree 
The power of equality 
 
Well, I've got tapes, I've got CD's 
I've got my Public Enemy 
My Lilly white ass is tickled pink 
When I listen to the music that makes me think 
 
Not another, motherfuckin' politician 
Doin' nothin' but something for his own ambition 
I never touch the sound we make 
Soul sacred love, vows that we take 
 
To create straight what is true 
Yo, he's with me and what I do 
My name is peace, this is my hour 
Can I get just a little bit of power 
 
The power of equality 
Is not yet what it ought to be 
It fills me up like a hollow tree 
The power of equality 
 
Madder than a motherfucker, lick my finger 
Can't forget 'cause the memory lingers 
Count 'em off quick, little Piccadilly sickness 
Take me to the hick, eat my thickness 
 
I've got a welt from the Bible belt 
Dealing with the hand that I've been dealt 
Sitting in the grip of a killing fist 
Giving up blood just to exist 
 
Rub me wrong and I get pissed 
No I cannot, get to this 
People in pain, I do not dig it 
Change of brain for Mr.Bigot 
 
Little brother do you hear me 
Have a heart oh come get near me 
Misery is not my friend 
But I'll break before I bend 
 
What I see is insanity 
What ever happened to humanity 
What ever happened to humanity 
What ever happened to humanity
