Rickie Lee Jones - Tell Somebody (Repeal the Patriot Act Now) lyrics

Not long ago it was alright There were no bad dreams that kept me up at night It was not brother against brother Mother against mother So tell somebody You've got to tell somebody Tell somebody what happened in the usa Now they want us to just get in line Behind a president When you know they spent milions of dollars Condemning and accusing The last one from the other side Tell somebody, tell somebody Tell somebody What's happening in the usa? Tell somebody, tell somebody Tell somebody What happened in the usa Tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody€¦ I want to know how far you will go To protect our right of free speech? Because it only took a moment Before it faded out of reach... Oh, tell somebody, tell sombody right now Tell somebody What happened in the usa? I wanna read about it in the news I wanna hear about it on tv, yeah What happened in the usa? When they ask you What happened in the usa? Tell sombody They'll wanna know, oh people The depth of our democracy Is only as good as the voices of protest she protects Voices of protest - rise!
