Em7
I've got a soul that cannot sleep
Em7
at night when something just ain't right
Em7
Blood red but without sight
Em7
exploding egos in the night

Mix like sticks of dynamite
Em7
red black or white, this is my fight
Em7
Come on courage, let's be heard
Em7
turn feelings into words
Em7
American equality has always been sour
Em7
an attitude, I would like to devour

My name is peace, this is my hour

Can I get just a little bit of power

Death to the message of the Ku Klux Klan

Media chief, you menace me

My Lilly white ass is tickled pink
Em7
When I listen to the music that makes me think
Em7
Not another, motherfuckin' politician
Em7
Doin' nothin' but something for his own ambition
Em7
I never touch the sound we make
Em7
Soul sacred love, vows that we take
Em7
To create straight what is true

Can't forget 'cause the memory lingers
Em7
Count 'em off quick, little Piccadilly sickness
Em7
Take me to the hick, eat my thickness
Em7
I've got a welt from the Bible belt
Em7
Dealing with the hand that I've been dealt
Em7
Sitting in the grip of a killing fist
Em7
Giving up blood just to exist
Em7
Rub me wrong and I get pissed
Em7
No I cannot, get to this
Em7
People in pain, I do not dig it
Em7
Change of brain for Mr.Bigot
