lyrics

Yeah Do you have it in you to

Speak truth to power

And can you really change the world at large



Cause you can see a cop shoot a kid

For nothing they did

Just walk the wrong way home



Oh and down at the border

Some folks want in just to help it along



And What is trust

How much is enough

To let some folks just live, just let em live



Cause when we get down to it

It’s the same bat and ball

60 odd years ain’t changed nothing at all

And we talk about peace like it’s something we know

But to tell you the truth we stay dropping bombs



I mean we can’t just patch this up

The presidents change but that ain’t ever enough



Like all we got are hesitations

Bout giving without expectations

But just say terror it ain’t a question

80 mil on a jet to send the message



That we just love our wars

At home, abroad yeah what’s one more



it’s all fucked though right

made up ur own damn mind

Hey the neighbors can think what they please



You got your own damn life

You spend your owed free time

And Doing nothing well it’s such a release



But the times have done their changing

As should we



the future should leave no doubt

What’s come so far we’re losing now, way, way down

But my hopes a summer heat

Under the gun or gods thumb we’ll sweat it out



And though it’s all a fire



Be like vines climb higher



So Do you have it in you to

Speak truth to power

And can you really change the world at large



So hard to call it like it is

Simple as a kid

Just knowing right from wrong



But that’s just how this works

The pursuit and what it’s worth

To pull water from a stone



What is trust

How much is enough

To let some folks just live

Just let ‘em live
