What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Somewhere between prayer and revolution
2
Between Jesus and Huey P. Newton
3
That's where you find Johnny Five Shoot shootin
4
Water guns at the audience while you're scootin'
5
Your gluteus max due to the fact that I'm tootin'
6
On the horn gonna warn you that I'm rootin'
7
For the other team in the culture wars
8
So I stab the beast belly as the vulture snores
9
YO JOE!
10
Let it blow with convulsive force
11
"˜Til walls fall off their false supports
12
"˜Til Jericho's aircraft carriers alter course
13
And all brave young Americans are called ashore
14
Cause we've already lost the war they keep wagin'
15
Splattering the streets in battles that keep ragin'
16
Bloodyin' each page of the story that we're studyin'
17
Each day the same just the names keep changin'
18
Hook:
19
Saying the same things over again
20
Repeatin' the same slogans we don't know where we've been
21
We've been all over the globe on our government's funds
22
Leavin' man, woman, and child dead bloody and numb
23
Saying the same things over again
24
Repeatin' the same slogans we don't know where we've been
25
We've been overthrowing leaders with legitimate views
26
Democratically elected but we didn't approve....
27
(verse two)
28
How many times can the line divide
29
How many wars to uphold your pride
30
These fears uncontrolled just swoll the tide
31
Of blood in the streets while the people die
32
I'ma keep on tryin'
33
Longs as suffering's multiplyin'
34
And why not
35
These souls get tossed and left out to rot
36
My backs broad enough to help left your cross
37
As long as you help with mine
38
The process of healing will take some time
39
To see the pain in your face is the same as mine
40
It's not a game or a race but the stake is high
41
We maintain our mistakes for the sake of sides
42
As long as it takes I'll say it one more time
43
As long as it takes I'll say it one more time
44
As long as it takes I'll say it one more time
45
Hook
46
Same thing
47
U.S. is not us
48
Same thing
49
And us is not we
50
Same thing
51
And we are not satisfied
52
Same thing
53
We're tired of the same thing
54
Same thing
55
And we're ready to make change
56
Same thing
57
Are we ready to make change?
58
(verse three)
59
We need money for healthcare and public welfare
60
Free Mumia and Leonard Peltier
61
Human needs, not corporate greed
62
Drop the debt and legalize weed
63
We say 'yes' to grassroots organization
64
'No' to neoliberal globalization
65
Bring the troops back to the USA
66
And shut down Guantanamo Bay
67
Who let "˜em overthrow Jacobo Arbenz
68
Who let "˜em overthrow Mohammad Mosaddeq
69
Who let "˜em assassinate Salvador Allende
70
I didn't let "˜em but they did it anyway
71
Who let "˜em overthrow Kwame Nkrumah
72
Who let "˜em overthrow Aristide
73
Who let "˜em assassinate Oscar Romero
74
I didn't let "˜em but they did indeed!
75
Don't let them assassinate Hugo Chavez
76
Don't let them assassinate Evo Morales
77
And bring back Martin, Malcolm, Medgar,
78
Hampton, Schwerner, Goodman, Chaney
79
Sayin' the same things over again
