We are the eye of the needle fixing to mend this quilt of lies The lies ripped up on our bed, we’re coming in quick We got Angela Davis on our lips and Mandela in our head But we got an offer to lessen the lesson learned Like kissing cousins kissing out of turn If you gonna play, you gonna play The party lines We gonna take back this town if it takes us all And kid you look like you could be found For the moment we are the fall lines Our mind, our time, is still marked by the grains of intolerance Our lives, our fight Til we’re done, til we’re done, til we’re done, til we're done hey hey I lost my religion along with my innocence Our lives, our fight Til we’re done, til we’re done, til we’re done, til we're done At least he got a body And he’s a boy named Sue And the federalis sure ain’t no expert on love Why would we listen to you? Oh, at least we got our bodies We’re all a boy named Sue And we fight til it’s done til they guard us (with gardens?) not guns Til the borders are run and life is anew And it was a fight night And the prize fighter got caught like in a knife fight And it was all over the highlights when he got hit by a hard right Saw stars like lite-brite couldn’t see in his sight line Started his skydive from the high life like Pele playin’ Jai alai Shot from mayday to his heyday and a pail of mail (?) mêlée as Corner (?) was getting a payday Needed Thompson from My Lai Turnin guns on his own guys but it wasn’t maltovs and mai tais Just AKs and white lies Tell Mt. Sinai to believe in I and I and you and you and not for an eye and eye and eye and I ain’t a cap on your tooth But then again I ain’t debatin’ the to stand in their shoes I’m just tryin to figure out which golden rule I should choose We gettin’ high sighted by the tie guys White collar crime pays, just look at the bylines If you believe in anything, believe in occupying Because it’s a rich man’s world we getting off the sidelines Our mind, our time, is still marked by the grains of intolerance Our lives, our fight Til we’re done, til we’re done, til we’re done, til we're done hey hey I lost my religion along with my innocence Our lives, our fight Til we’re done, til we’re done, til we’re done, til we're done
