Word Game (Live Version) - Stephen Stills[00:00:00]
Would you knock a man down[00:00:17]
If you don't like the cut of his clothes[00:00:19]
Could you put a man away if[00:00:24]
You don't want to hear what he knows[00:00:25]
Well it's happening right here[00:00:30]
People dying of fear by the droves[00:00:32]
And I know most of you[00:00:37]
Either don't believe it's true [00:00:39]
Or else you don't know what to do[00:00:40]
Or maybe I'm singing about you [00:00:42]
Who knows [00:00:44]
It's incredibly sick [00:00:51]
You can feel it as across the land it flows[00:00:53]
Prejudice is slick when it's a word game [00:00:58]
It festers and grows [00:01:01]
Move along quick [00:01:04]
It furthers one to have somewhere to go[00:01:05]
You can feel it as it's rumblin'[00:01:10]
Let emotions keep a tumblin'[00:01:11]
Then as cities start to crumblin'[00:01:13]
Mostly empty bellies grumblin'[00:01:15]
Here we go[00:01:16]
People see somebody different[00:01:53]
Fear is the first reaction shown[00:01:54]
Then they think they've got him licked the[00:02:00]
Barbaric hunt begins and they move in slow[00:02:01]
A human spirit is devoured the[00:02:09]
Remains left to carrion crows[00:02:11]
I was told that life is change[00:02:20]
And yet history remains [00:02:21]
Does it always stay the same[00:02:23]
Do we shrug it off and say[00:02:25]
Only God knows[00:02:26]
By and by [00:02:33]
Somebody usually goes down to the ghetto[00:02:35]
Try and help but they don't know[00:02:41]
Why folks treat them cold[00:02:43]
And the rich keep getting richer[00:02:47]
And the rest of us just keep getting old [00:02:48]
You see one must have a mission[00:02:54]
In order to be a good Christian[00:02:56]
If you don't you will be missing[00:02:58]
High Mass of the evening show[00:03:00]
And the well fed masters reap the[00:03:07]
Harvests of the polluted seeds they've sown [00:03:08]
Smug and self-righteous they[00:03:13]
Bitch about people they own [00:03:15]
And you can't prove them wrong [00:03:20]
They're so God damn sure they know[00:03:22]
I have seen these things with my very own eyes[00:03:27]
And defended my battered soul [00:03:30]
It must be too tough to die [00:03:32]
American propaganda South African lies[00:03:33]
Will not force me to take up arms [00:03:36]
That's my enemies' pride [00:03:38]
And I won't fight by his rules[00:03:40]
That's foolishness besides [00:03:42]
His ignorance is gonna do him in[00:03:43]
And nobody's gonna cry [00:03:45]
Because his children they are growing up[00:03:46]
They are growing up[00:03:48]
With bigots and their silver cups[00:03:50]
They're fed up they might throw up[00:03:51]
On you[00:03:52]
