|
I can't blame you for tryin' |
|
With broken glass halos on your feet |
|
Free shoes, read books for every kid you meet |
|
Join the serenade on your street |
|
You better rest, then run |
|
You better rest, then run |
|
You better rest, then run |
|
'Cos the brothers off the block never had that luck |
|
The courage to die for your people |
|
You better set those brothers free |
|
The courage to die for what you believe in |
|
Set those brothers free |
|
You better set those brothers free |
|
Read about King Street in the papers |
|
Liverpool dockers with desperate measures |
|
Determined destiny with broken by the bowed down bows |
|
And leather rifles look so mean |
|
Give 'em what they need |
|
You better rest, then run |
|
You better rest, then run |
|
'Cos the brothers on the block never had no luck |
|
The courage to die for your people |
|
You better set those brothers free |
|
Father, son, and brother |
|
Together in unity |
|
Oh, you gotta set those brothers free |
|
As the flies go lowered your faithful soul |
|
Gotta reeducate the high streets joe |
|
You get a bullet in the back for all the promised beaten back |
|
You get a bullet in the back for all the promised beaten back |
|
You transcend street corner singer at the age of 22 |
|
Now what you gonna do |
|
And there's a junkie sunrise over Oakland Bridge |
|
And there's a junkie sunrise over Oakland Bridge |
|
And there's a junkie sunrise over Vauxhall Bridge |
|
And there's a junkie sunrise over Vauxhall Bridge |
|
You better rest, then run |
|
You better rest, then run |
|
You better rest, then run |
|
You better rest, then run |
|
'Cos the brothers off the block never had no luck |
|
The courage to die for your people |
|
You better set those brothers free |
|
The courage to die for what you believe in |
|
Revolutionary, dead and buried |
|
He's a revolutionary, yeah |
|
He's a revolutionary |
|
Oh, he's a revolutionary |
