Paroles Paul Robeson de The World/inferno Friendship Society

Textes et Paroles de Paul Robeson

Joy beats oppression but oppression will make you pay
cuz our joy is fleeting
oppression never goes away
you'll shout them down and joy, our joy,
don't really care with a battle of oppression
wait around for you to blink
joy beats oppression but oppression will make you pay

speak up
black out
blacklisted
fullbodied
red

he did everything he could but he got tired
we all get tired
we aint thinking so good,
we got tired
this country tookback every damn thing it goddamn could,
from the black, from the free from the poor lucky drunks who dont give a damn,
this country takes back everything it can

he wasnt in it for hisself,
he was in it for you and me
but he go at it alone, that makes you bitter and mean,
for a while it could be so good but tonight we make the rules at this club
me and the girls are here to tell you there fuckin with you cuz they want what you have
things are pretty damn funny things aint really quite so bad

take this one thing with you
to work, and to school and to mom and to dad

you dont hang a man out to dry and then
make him fight all alone again

speak up
blackout
blacklisted
fullbodied red.
