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 somebodyˇ¦
|
|
|
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 that she protects
|
voices of protest - rise up!
|
