Description
The rock breaks into this Monday morning. “You speak your mind and you’ll end up dead!” Sling that slide guitar across your shoulders and Bash those drums and thump that bass – we’re tasting some blues in our rock this morning! “Rich man spilling the poor man’s blood.” Yep, bail out the old greedy banks and let the young fight the wars. Great way to start the week – gives me just enough anger to want to teach the young to think for themselves and not toe the party line.
Lyrics
The world’s on fire like Jimmy said Speak your mind and you’ll end up dead Who will save us from ourselves Who’s gonna bomb us with our own damn shells From Sudan to Afghanistan From Iraq to the next one man From Lebanon to Palestine From Israel and on down the line Well the gods of war will never stop The world’s a whore and hates the crop Turn your picket fence into a suicide bomber You better learn to fear the genocide shop From Christians to the New Islam From Jews and how you all fight for god From holy land to holy shit Believe me they won’t ever quit Cause there is no light is no good You’re born to fight it’s in the books It’s a tired song and a chorus blood A rich mans suit and a poor mans flood From New York down to New Orleans From Britain and their dying dream From California coast to coast You can look for love but you’ll just find a ghost The media spreads useless flare On where to be and what to wear While millions die from world neglect You get a brand new car and a big fat check While the world’s on fire like Jimmy said.
