Same Thing (Album Version) - Flobots[00:00:00]
Somewhere between prayer and revolution[00:00:13]
Between Jesus and Huey P Newton[00:00:16]
Thats where you find Jonny 5 shoot shootin[00:00:18]
Water guns at the audience while youre scootin'[00:00:20]
Youre gluteous max due to the fact that hes tootin'[00:00:23]
On the horn gonna warn you that I'm rootin'[00:00:26]
For the other team in the culture wars[00:00:28]
So I stab the beast belly as the vulture snores[00:00:30]
Yo Joe let it blow with convulsive force[00:00:33]
Till walls fall off their false supports[00:00:35]
Till Jericho's aircraft carriers alter course[00:00:37]
And all brave young Americans are called ashore[00:00:40]
Cause we've already lost the war they keep wagin[00:00:43]
Splatterin the streets in battles that keep ragin[00:00:45]
Bloodyin each page in the story that we're studyin[00:00:48]
Each day the same just the names keep changin[00:00:51]
Sayin the same things over again[00:00:54]
Repeatin the same slogans we don't know where we've been[00:00:56]
We've been all over the globe on our government's funds[00:00:58]
Leavin man woman and child dead bloody and numb[00:01:01]
Sayin the same things over again[00:01:03]
Repeatin the same slogans we don't know where we've been[00:01:06]
Weve been overthrowin leaders with legitimate views[00:01:08]
Democratically elected but we didn't approve[00:01:11]
How many times can the line divide [00:01:14]
How many wars to uphold some pride [00:01:16]
These fears uncontrolled just swoll the tide[00:01:18]
Of blood in the streets while the people die[00:01:21]
Ima keep on tryin long as suffering's multiplyin[00:01:23]
And why not [00:01:27]
These souls gettin tossed and left out to rot[00:01:29]
My backs broad enough to help lift your cross[00:01:31]
As long as you help with mine[00:01:34]
The process of healin will take some time[00:01:36]
To see the pain in your face is the same as mine[00:01:38]
Its not a game or a race but the stakes is high[00:01:41]
We maintain our mistakes for the sake of sides[00:01:44]
As long as it takes Ill say it one more time[00:01:46]
As long as it takes I'll say it one more time[00:01:49]
As long as it takes I'll say it one more time[00:01:51]
Sayin the same things over again[00:01:54]
Repeatin the same slogans we don't know where we've been[00:01:56]
We've been all over the globe on our government's funds[00:01:59]
Leavin man woman and child dead bloody and numb[00:02:01]
Sayin the same things over again[00:02:04]
Repeatin the same slogans we don't know where we've been[00:02:06]
Weve been overthrowin leaders with legitimate views[00:02:09]
Democratically elected but we didn't approve[00:02:11]
(Same thing)[00:02:15]
U S is not us[00:02:17]
(Same thing)[00:02:18]
And us is not we[00:02:19]
(Same thing)[00:02:20]
And we are not satisfied[00:02:21]
(Same thing)[00:02:25]
Were tired of the same thing[00:02:27]
(Same thing)[00:02:28]
And were ready to make change[00:02:29]
(Same thing)[00:02:31]
Are we ready to make change [00:02:32]
We want money for health care and public welfare[00:02:34]
Free Mumia and Leonard Peltier[00:02:37]
Human needs not corporate greed[00:02:40]
Drop the debt and legalize weed[00:02:42]
We say yes to grassroots organization[00:02:44]
No to neoliberal globalization[00:02:47]
Bring the troops back to the U S A [00:02:49]
And shut down Guantanamo Bay[00:02:52]
Who let 'em overthrow Jacobo Arbenz [00:02:54]
Who let 'em overthrow Mohammad Mosaddeq [00:02:57]
Who let 'em assassinate Salvador Allende [00:02:59]
I didn't let them but they did it anyway[00:03:02]
Who let 'em overthrow Kwame Nkrumah [00:03:05]
Who let 'em overthrow Aristide [00:03:07]
Who let 'em assassinate Oscar Romero [00:03:09]
I didn't let 'em but they did indeed[00:03:12]
But dont let them assassinate Hugo Chavez[00:03:15]
Dont let them assassinate Evo Morales[00:03:17]
And bring back Martin Malcolm Medgar[00:03:20]
Hampton Schwerner Goodman Chaney[00:03:22]
Sayin the same things over again[00:03:25]
