Letter From A Friend

歌詞

From where I stand I can cleary see your tormented faces How you must hate me I wonder how many think of killin me Of assasinating their countries leader But again lookin at you all I see fear Passive fear Fear of death No martyrs are among you So I am safe within the confines of the law To overtax you Underpay you Overwork you Police force you Bury you Black people My people Victims of society Victims of western democracy No martyrs are among you Even though our country achieved independence European rule still prevails Neo-colonialism has its roots deep in our soil I care not As long as I am well paid No martyrs are among you So I am safe within the confines of your passitivity To stand on this rostrum And adress you And fill your oppressed ears With mockin promises As I speak, I speak for all who are here with me Brown and nearly white For color, class and creed Has no meanin where the almighty dollar is concerned And on behalf of the government Here and abroad I would like to thank you voters For dippin your finger in the blood Thus markin an X Givin us the wrong to do wrong You dont have to hear my thoughts You know them No martyrs are among you
