lyrics

Get ahead, get ahead in this world
If you don't play the game, somebody else will
Love your neighbor, but only so he'll watch your home
Tell her you love her, but only so you won't feel alone

Let's just waste our time unlike
The white western investor who makes a trip to earn his dime
Cuz after all, green paper shouldn't start a fire

Lose your troubles, neglect the duties of today
Light your joints and smoke 'em all away
Salute to all you have, take nothing to the grave
Repay no one your debts, forget who you forgave

Let's just spend our time unlike
Midday veranda dwellers sitting still until the night
Cuz after all, again the sun will rise

Let's just kill our time unlike
Radio announcer spitting truths of the divine
Cuz after all, no man is his own tribe

Scores of marching soldiers admiring one another's stripes
Herds of horny fathers admiring one another's wives
Parties of politicians cheering one another's lies
It's time, time to heed our peoples' cries


--


What am I gonna do without money?
And what am I gonna do without a honey to love me?
And how'm I gonna live without the rains fallin' on my seeds?
And how can I be with dignity, beggin' from my knees?

I'm a human being

It's gettin' old real fast, workin' for The Man to pay off my debts
Well Big Brother, don't you sit back, I'm comin' for you, and I don't fear death
I stopped watchin' TV news, and I don't pay no tax
Believe you, me, I'm gonna get learned; boy, I'll be a threat

I'm a human being

From Appalachia to the city streets
Our voice will rise in unity
From the bottoms of our blister'd feet
We'll beat a rhythm that sets the weary free

From Caribou down to San Diego
Your prisoners will no longer lay low
This type of pow'r you wield will surely implode
We the subjects of your greed will soon reverse your hold

We are human beings
We are human beings
