Same Thing
The Flobots

Somewhere between prayer and revolutionnBetween Jesus and Huey P. NewtonnThat's where you find Johnny Five Shoot shootinnWater guns at the audience while you’re scootin'nYour gluteus max due to the fact that I'm tootin'nOn the horn gonna warn you that I'm rootin'nFor the other team in the culture warsnSo I stab the beast belly as the vulture snoresnYO JOE!nLet it blow with convulsive forcen‘Til walls fall off their false supportsn‘Til Jericho's aircraft carriers alter coursenAnd all brave young Americans are called ashorenCause we've already lost the war they keep wagin’nSplattering the streets in battles that keep ragin’nBloodyin’ each page of the story that we're studyin’nEach day the same just the names keep changin’nnHook: nSaying the same things over againnRepeatin’ the same slogans we don't know where we've beennWe've been all over the globe on our government's fundsnLeavin’ man, woman, and child dead bloody and numbnSaying the same things over againnRepeatin’ the same slogans we don't know where we've beennWe've been overthrowing leaders with legitimate viewsnDemocratically elected but we didn't approve....nn(verse two)nHow many times can the line dividenHow many wars to uphold your pridenThese fears uncontrolled just swoll the tidenOf blood in the streets while the people dienI'ma keep on tryin’nLongs as suffering's multiplyin’nAnd why notnThese souls get tossed and left out to rotnMy backs broad enough to help left your crossnAs long as you help with minenThe process of healing will take some timenTo see the pain in your face is the same as minenIt's not a game or a race but the stake is highnWe maintain our mistakes for the sake of sidesnAs long as it takes I’ll say it one more timenAs long as it takes I'll say it one more timenAs long as it takes I'll say it one more timennHooknnSame thing nU.S. is not usnSame thing nAnd us is not we nSame thingnAnd we are not satisfiednSame thingnWe’re tired of the same thingnSame thingnAnd we’re ready to make changenSame thingnAre we ready to make change?nn(verse three)nWe need money for healthcare and public welfarenFree Mumia and Leonard PeltiernHuman needs, not corporate greednDrop the debt and legalize weednWe say 'yes' to grassroots organizationn'No' to neoliberal globalizationnBring the troops back to the USAnAnd shut down Guantanamo BaynnWho let ‘em overthrow Jacobo Arbenz nWho let ‘em overthrow Mohammad MosaddeqnWho let ‘em assassinate Salvador AllendenI didn't let ‘em but they did it anywaynWho let ‘em overthrow Kwame NkrumahnWho let ‘em overthrow AristidenWho let ‘em assassinate Oscar RomeronI didn't let ‘em but they did indeed! nnDon't let them assassinate Hugo ChaveznDon't let them assassinate Evo MoralesnAnd bring back Martin, Malcolm, Medgar, nHampton, Schwerner, Goodman, Chaney nnSayin’ the same things over againn
