lyrics

There were people dying, all the spectators came
The response of the nations - was a goddamn shame.
Not a one could say a word against it; cause they was all doin' the same -

What kind of world have we made?

There is a certain sort of chill to the numbness of our sleep, when we turn from all but the company we keep
The coolness of our shoulder brought the poor right to their knees.
Momma rock us into seeing, it's our future that will weep.
The coolness of our shoulder brought the poor right to their knees.
Momma rock us into seeing, it's our future that will weep.

Some of them boys was throwing dice, huddled ‘round a cold street
Risking their last dollar, cuz dem babies couldn't eat
and if the cops showed up; then it was jail and to get beat - 2

Who's saving who, what's left to fight?
The pendulum of blame keeps swinging swinging side to side
when has the whipping ever rid us of a sin?
Momma, rock us out of keeping on the way we’ve always been
when has the whipping ever rid us of a sin?
Momma, rock us out of keeping on the way we’ve always been

Can’t call it peace when it’s a gun that made them leave
Can’t simply be till all our shackles are set free
Got truth to speak but no one wants to hear you preach
to our consciousness give heed
for too long we've been deceived
