Powers, nations, corporations, alright, it’s alright
Time and seasons, age of reason, alright, it’s alright
The big distraction is what’s in fashion, alright, it’s alright
New attractions and chain reactions, alright, it’s alright
Mmmmm, Mmmmm
If I turn away from my brother as he goes under
And if I drown the same way, can I find an equalizing love...
So near to my heart of destitution
If I could feel less small
And lift my voice in revolution
Desire that I might stand up and say enough’s enough
Social media diaspora, alright, it’s alright
Part of me loves the machine, alright, it’s alright
The working-classes are disadvantaged, alright, it’s alright
The under-classes are on their asses, alright, it’s alright
If I turn away from my brother as he goes under
And if I drown the same way, can I find an equalizing love...
So near to my heart with restitution
And now I’ve seen so much
I close my eyes and dream a future
Desire that I might stand up and say enough’s enough
Are there freedom songs behind a prison wire? x2
So near to my heart with restitution
If I could feel less small
And lift my voice in revolution
Desire that I might stand up and say enough’s enough
