lirik lagu the beat of the earth - love will find a way, part ii
well i’m about to get upset, watchin’ my tv
checkin’ out the news until my eyeb~lls cannot see
i mean to say that every day it’s just another rotten mess
and when it’s gonna change my friend is anybody’s guess
so i’m watchin’ and i’m waitin’
hopin’ for the best
even think i go to prayin’
every time i hear ’em sayin’
that there’s no way today, there’s trouble comin’ every day
no way today, there’s trouble comin’ every day
well wednesday i watched the riots, i seen thе cops out on the street
watched ’em throwin’ rocks ‘n’ stuff ‘n’ chokin’ in thе heat
listened to reports about the whiskey passin’ round
seen the smoke ‘n’ fire ‘n’ the market burnin’ down
so i’m watchin’ and i’m waitin’
hopin’ for the best
even think i go to prayin’
every time i hear ’em sayin’
that there’s no way today, there’s trouble comin’ every day
no way today, there’s trouble comin’ every day
well, you can cool it, you can heat it
’cause, baby, i don’t need it
take your tv dinner and eat it
‘n all that phony stuff on sports
‘n all the unconfirmed reports
you know i watched that rotten box until my head begins to hurt
from checkin’ out the way the newsmen say they get the dirt
before the guys on channel so~and~so
it’s totally absurd
and any news if it comes up
and the place if it blows up
well we’ll be the first to tell
the boys they got downtown are workin’ hard and doin’ swell
and if anybody gets the news before it hits the street
they’ll say that no one grabs it faster, our coverage can’t be beat
and if another woman driver gets machine guns off her seat
they’ll send some joker with a brownie and you’ll see him on tv
well i’ve seen the fires burnin’ and the local people turnin’
all the merchants in the shops that used to sell their brooms and mops
and every other household item, just watch the mob just turn and bite ’em
they’ll say it served ’em right because a few of them were white
and it’s the same across the nation, black and white discrimination
and you can’t understand me now, and all that other jazz they hand me
all the papers and tv and all the mass stupidity
that seems to grow more every day, each time you hear some people say
you wanna go and do ya in, because the color of your skin just
don’t appeal to him no matter if it’s black or white
because he’s out for blood tonight
well we got to sit around at home and watch this thing begin
but i’ll bet there won’t be many left to see it really end
’cause a fire in the street ain’t like a fire in the heart
in the eyes of all these people, don’t you know that this could start
on any street in any town, in any state if any clown
decides that now’s the time to fight for some ideal he thinks is right
and if a million more agree, there ain’t no great society
as it applies to you and me, our country isn’t free
and they all refuse to see that all that you could ever be
is just a lousy janitor unless your uncle owns a store
and that every five in every four just watch the rats go across the floor
five many more just make up songs about being poor
