Cry me a river cry me a river
The change has arrived
Where are all the heroes
Heroes like jolting Joe D
Hit the ball to outer space
Running from first to Homeplate
Kids cheering kids jumping
Popcorn all over the place
Heroes like Willie the say hey kid
Billy ball billy ball The M an M boys
Sultans of swing sultan of swat
How phat oye Mira.. Hey look
How bout that Clemente
Shoot them down from right to home
Yonder Pittsburgh way
More fallen heroes like Malcolm X
The black Knight an honest man
The heart of of a lion mind of the times
Heroes like che, Kennedy, King
Munoz Marin mi gente con Dios
My people with God
I have a dream I have a dream
There was no in between those mountain of men
Women and song
only fertile valleys rivers of plenty
Millions marching converging on to DC
Listening to those great orators
speakers of the house
Talking at the side of their mouth's
Some getting pasted with tomatoes
Some carrying signs America love it or leave it
Gripes or rights you can call it either way
In God we trust I trust no one
oh no Mr. Bill Mr. bill duty calls
I mean booty calls rump shakers
call it what you will
Keep passing those bills but I've had my fill
Lost face lost my faith
All the backstabbing taking place
Down the Yellow Brick Rd ,East Coast West Coast
Worldwide too
So many avenues damn no where to go
Searching for the Almighty buck
All I'm getting is downright f**ked
You see the more you make the more you want
And the more you spend
Welcome to the chain gang
A vicious cycle on a long and winding road
Leading nowhere let me pray to us all
and say I decree I declare
And stare at those fat cats with fat wallets
Fat titles altered Egos Angels with dirty faces
Profiting off the poor getting fat off the land
While we live in misery die of malnutrition
And loneliness Just forgotten
In a compu age of gold neon and glitter
A world full of great ideas gone bad
Viewing this vast mirror of humanity
Disemboweled by the jaws of corporate banks
In the betterment of mankind
Whom are we kidding
Mercy Mercy me have mercy on our souls
The reality is there are no heroes
No fallen heroes Angels in disguise here
Only moms who gave birth to us all
Pops who worked hard to put food
On the table and clothes on our backs
Grandpops who took us to those games
to watch those stars and falling stars of the day
How about grandmama who read books to us all
Made us laugh
Held us tight when we cried from pain and hurt
Showed us how to believe in ourselves from within
Showed us that we can do anything
We set our minds and hearts to do
Taught us about faith in God
Faith above all the hell we have to endure in life
you see real heroes
Don't sleep here on this earth
The lord reigns
Riding the winds
Here there and everywhere..
Here there everywhere...
