TEARS OF BLOOD

I shed tears of blood for the future generations

What they must deal with are past complications

And I’m talking’ about more than just the red man

Cause anyone could turn out to be a dead man

Look at the fucked up world that we live in

And you will see what our children will be given

No matter if you’re a red white yellow or black man

You still gonna have to deal with a phat man

Every day someone faces oppression

Bust those bonds that limit your expression

You say you want to change this world of horror

Then what the fuck are you waiting for?

When you see someone who’s down and out

Picking that person up is what it’s all about

Don’t tell me about the things that you want to see change

Don’t tell me about the rules that you think are strange

Cause I don’t want the hear about your complaints

If you’re too damn timid to fight the restraints

I’m thinking seven generations to the day

What are the children then going to say?

Will the black man be back on the plantation?

Will the white man be dealing with starvation?

Will the red man still be on the reservation?

And what about the yellow man and his wartime humiliation

It doesn’t take a genius to see what we’ve done

To this planet that we call number one

Now I shed tears of blood for the future generations

What they must deal with are past complications

I’m talking about more than just the ones that bled man

Cause the ones that cause our anguish are the head men

Our leaders send the armies to fix all our problems

They have no backbone to take the time to solve them

It’s too damn easy for them to be destructive

And they’re too fuckin’ lazy to do what’s constructive

They never seem to think about the masses

And when we speak up they turn around and blast us

So are we just going to shut up lay down and die?

Are we going to just hang our heads and cry?

Or should we stand up and look that man in the eye

And make him face the fact that we can see his lie

Now that’s what I think we all should do

If we want a better world for the future crew

When you look at your child – do you see a smile?

And does he have the liberty to have his own style?

Do you always want to hear children’s laughter?

Peace and love in the future is what I’m after

To keep our freedoms we must protect them

We need to take every culture and connect them

Put people in power who have a positive plan

That’s the only way we can change this land

All the racist, elitists, and conformists need to be converted

There’s an idea that’s not all that perverted

And if we’re all going to deal in reality

It’s going to take all of us to improve this society

If there’s a dictator with a rule that you must fit

I say we have to turn around and bust it

So let’s stop all the tears of blood for the future generations

Let’s put an end to all the solvable complications

I’m talking about more than just the red man

Because no one deserves to be a premature dead man
