Exposition - Leave a Penny lyrics

[Intro] Stand up (Stand up) Waitin' on the time When the last shall be first And the first shall be last (ha ha) [Hook] I, I, I hold my heart in the palm of my hand And I give it to man You, you, you Can do the same just by taking a stand and sing along with the band We, we, we will stand tall draw a line in the sand And make 'em meet our demands This is it You're either in or you're out You're either with us or you're not brother [Verse 1] Power to the proletariat The people never fallin' off Spittin' revolution like a Soviet Kalashnikov Red star badges patrolling the streets We put the toes to the pigs so police the police Because Congress can't help they'll filibust us full o' holes We'll storm the Beltway and fill a busta full o' holes That's that Pancho Villa justice And they'll say Victor's brain has finally left him My family's fallen far too deep Put 'em on that list of casualities of ideology Cause we're broadcasting live from the Sierra Maestra An po- to the pigs we coming to get ya Mr. Ashcroft no we didn't forget ya The ax grinds slow I hope it doesn't upset ya Upset ya [Hook] I, I, I hold my heart in the palm of my hand And give it to man You, you, you Can do the same just by taking a stand and sing along with the band We, we, we stand tall draw a line in the sand And make 'em meet our demands This is it You're either in or you're out You're either with us or you're not my sister [Verse 2] Now let me tell you how to lower the gas price You get a bunch of friends that want to lower the gas price You grab the CEO by his tie and say that's right You're dead if you don't sign the paper, lower the gas price (Bo) Then people want to know who the squad is That be robbing from the rich like we was Hugo Chavez And give it to the poor like young Fidel Castro Anybody standing in the way we march yo Erase attack yo come forth and back yo Don't even see no difference 'tween the blacks and whites yo It's just a bunch of bullsh** they tryin' to distract you You checkin' for the front, when they rush in the back door They pump you full of fear Eliminate the middlemen Say run along sheep and be a good little citizen But that ain't me And no way it never will be Yo these motherf**ers are gonna have to k** me [Bridge] "There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even pa**ively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got indicate to the people who run it and the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all." [Hook] I, I, I hold my heart in the palm of my hand And I give it to man You, you, you Can do the same just by taking a stand and sing along with the band We, we, we will stand tall draw a line in the sand We'll make 'em meet our demands This is it You're either in or you're out You're either with us or you're not my people Hah! [Outro]
