[Verse One- Jonny 5] 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 you're scootin Your glutteus max' due to the fact that he's tootin On the horn gonna warn you that I'm rootin For the other team in the culture wars So I stab the beast's belly as the vulture snores 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 Splatterin the streets in battles that keep ragin Bloodyin each page of the story that we're studyin Each day the same, just the names keep changin [Hook] 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 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 overthrowin leaders with legitimate views Democratically elected but we didn't approve [Verse Two- Brer Rabbit] How many times can the line divide? How many wars to uphold your pride? These fears uncontrolled just swoll the tide Of blood in the streets while the people die I'mma keep on tryin, long as sufferin is multiplyin .. and why not? These souls gettin tossed and left out to rot My back's broad enough to help lift your cross
As long as you help with mine The process of healin will take some time To see the pain in yo' face is the same as mine It's not a game or a race but the stakes is high We maintain our mistakes for the sakes 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 [Hook] [Interlude] Same thing - U.S. is not us Same thing - and us is not we Same thing - and we are not satisfied~! Same thing - we're tired of the same thing Same thing - and we're ready to make change Same thing - are we ready to make change?! [Verse Three- Jonny 5 and Brer Rabbit] We want money for health care, and public welfare Free Mumia, and Leonard Peltier Human needs, not corporate greed Drop the debt, and legalize weed! We say YES to gra**roots organization NO to neo-liberal 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 a**a**inate Salvador Allende? I didn't let 'em but they did it anyway! Who let 'em overthrow Kwame Nkrumah? Who let 'em overthrow Aristide? Who let 'em a**a**inate Oscar Romero? I didn't let 'em but they did it indeed! But don't let them a**a**inate Hugo Chavez Don't let them a**a**inate Evo Morales And bring back Martin, Malcolm, Medgar Hampton, Schwerner, Goodman, Chaney [Outro] Sayin the same things over again
