Just Listen Will Ya

just listen will ya?

listen to what im sayin

ill tell it to you like it is

im not going to lie

im going to be truthful

get it all out

on the table

wear my heart on my sleeve

surrender to the higher power 

and throw myself on the mercy

of the people

am i insane?

that could get me tortured to death

maybe, but it could also

earn you a place in history

showing how this system

completely unnnecessarily

destroyed a man

who could save the world.
