Bring the People Together

I can hear the masters cryin' out

I find it hard, I find it strange
I can hear the masters cryin' out

Bring the people together
I can't stay, I can't leave
Bring the people together, yeah

From their graves most every night

Do you see your son down on the street?
Is this the world or just some everyday beehive?
Go to the movies, have Picasso paint your cage
Is that a gun or just the father that he needs?

Bring the people together, yeah
Bring the people together, yeah, yeah
It's a crime, this dark time
Bring the people together
Bring the people together, yeah
I've had enough, I think I'm done
Bring the people together
For the sake of these children

Bring the people together
In the early mornin'
There were revelations in my mind

Tell me, is this a nation? Is this a tribe?
Bring the people together
Bring the people together
Bring the people together
We wait for President's that never turn the tide
There were revelations in my mind
I was lost, I am found
Bring the people together
Bring the people together
In the early mornin'
All the buildings are burnt to the ground
I can't do no nothin', not a thing
In the early mornin'

We leave behind
Can you remember a time?
From their graves most every night
I can hear the masters cryin' out
Listen to lovers, better quit it with this shit
I can't stay, I can't leave
Do you see the world as only tragedy?
Bring the people together, yeah
Do you cry? Do you weep?
There were revelations in my mind

I can't do no nothin', not a thing
From their graves most every night
So sell me down the river, I'll be waiting there in love
We need now, yeah, we need it quick
