Give the Government Back To the People

We went all our children To be in land of the free We want all our children To be, to be Live in a land of liberty By our consitution written by men For all men And when you're done all your miss treating Denials and abusive beatings Give the Government back to the People but then in nineteen seventy's Dishonesty with the presidency Watergate Mrs. Patrica Hearse, kidnappings Zebra killings, brother, brother, brothers murders Stop all the killings, those zebra killings Black racism, Ku Klux Klan is not what we the people understand OH, how we are hated abused, misused talking about separating Laws are gathered together But there's not for all flocks or all feathers Hey! weatherman what's ya think about the weather And when you're done all your miss treating Denials and abusive beatings Give the Government back to the People Wanna make some news Start a fire, a riot, or shoot someone For the pleas of Nixon Mama's still in the kitchen Making homemade apple pie My reality is still sly And what of his men So many of his men were involved in a cover up While at the summer picnic Bobby say's "pass the ketchup" And when you're done all your miss treating Denials and abusive beatings Give the Government back to the People How do we protest most of them arrested Right on, right on Ain't gonna twist my arm To the man whose head is in the sky My brother ain't no galaxies he can't divide I am not the sun or the moon I am not the morning dew I am not the air the water your mother's daughter And when you're done all your miss treating Denials and abusive beatings Give the Government back to the People The atmosphere contains within it's self so much pressure I'm a black one, black man whose skin color makes me no lesser All men, all creeds, all nationality Who sits within the marble walls of Washington Oh, Mr. President give us the government congress, senate Can't you see, that you really, no really you work for me Take a look at me, tell me what do you see And when you're done all your miss treating Denials and abusive beatings Give the Government back to the People Stop this one man rule before it s to late don't be the fool So once more America will never loss faith, never more disbelieve you Right On, right on whose gonna stop you America give the pride and dignity most men live on Forever we give love people don't be cruel the man in the office represents you For the pleas of Nixon Mama's still in the kitchen Making homemade apple pie My reality is still sly And what of his men To the man whose head in the sky My sister, my mother, my brother, my father Don't be surprised On any level of thinking wrong or right Post positive negative relatively or not Take a look at me, tell me what do you see And when you're done all your miss treating Denials and abusive beatings Give the Government back to the People 07/11/74 written by James Edward Lee Sr.
