lyrics

CHORUS
Sing, like your heart don't bleed
it keeps on beating
March, with your head held high
you might change everything

Don't you know I've been spit on in the street
Spent my life knowin' I was second best
And the anger slowly boils in my veins
But I hear it comin', you can feel the change

When will it explode
Everything in it's time I suppose
The same old same old stories always told
Money talks & makes the world go around

CHORUS

A soldier takes an order in a faraway land
Tears don't stop the triggers pullin' over again
All those old men and children
Buried all together in some godforsaken hole

When will it explode
Everybody's got their time to go
Same old same old stories always told
That war will make it so that peace can take hold
I don't know

CHORUS

Can violence fight violence effectively
Cuz who am I to just throw up my hands and die
I won't let nobody terrorize my life
Some people say you gotta take by force what you need to survive

When does that explode
Can non-violence take us where we need to go
Martin Luther King thought so
But revolution doesn't always take that road

CHORUS
Sing, like your heart don't bleed
it keeps on beating
March, with your head held high
you might change everything

Run til your lungs just burn
the pain is worth it
Your voice, it lets freedom ring
Your voice, it lets freedom ring

about

The Bushwick Book Club Seattle Seattle, Washington

The Bushwick Book Club is not your run of the mill book club. When we read books, we also want to write songs about them. And when we write songs, we like to perform them for an audience. So we book shows, and invite an audience to read with us!
