5. _ King
King, where are your people now ?
Chained and pacified.
Tried invain to show them how.
And for that you died.
You had a dream of a promised land.
People of all nations walking hand in hand
But they`re not ready to accept
That dream situation, yet.
King, where are your people now ?
Chained and pacified.
Tried invain to show them how.
And for that you died.

6. _ Tyler
Appeal to the governor of louisiana
You may get an answer the process is slow
Federal government too much to help him
It`s been nearly five years
And they won`t let him go
(chorus)
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Testify under pressure, a racist jury
Government lawyers its all for show
With rows of white faces
False accusations
He`s framed up for murder
They won`t let him go
(chorus)
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Tyler ..... etc
Police gun was planted
No matching bullets
No prints on the handle, no proof to show
But tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
They show him no mercy
They won`t let him go
(chorus)
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Tyler...... etc
Appeal to the governor of louisiana
You may get an answer the process is slow
Federal government too much to help him
It`s been nearly five years
And they won`t let him go
(chorus)
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Tyler .... etc

8. _ Madam Medusa
From the land of shadows
Comes a dreadful sight
Lady with the marble smile
Spirit of the night
See the scourge of innocence
Swinging in her hand
Hear the silent suffering
That echoes through the land
From the tombs of ignorance
Of hate and greed and lies
Through the smoke of sacrifice
Watch her figure rise
The sick the poor the old
Basking in her radiance
Men of blood and gold
In her bloody footsteps
Speculators prance
Men of dreams are praying
For that second chance
Round her vacant features
Gilded serpents dance
Her tree of evil knowledge
Sprouts a special branch
Madam medusa
Madam medusa
Madam medusa
Knock her right down
And then she bounce right back
Knock her right down
And then she bounce right back
She gone off her head
We`ve got to shoot her dead
She gone off her head
We`ve got to shoot her dead
Run for your life before she eat you alive
Run for your life before she eat you alive
Move out of the way cos`s you`re blocking out the day
Move out of the way cos`s you`re blocking out the day

9. _ Dream A Lie
Why do i have to dream of you when i don't want to dream a lie?
Why do i have to dream of you when i don't want to dream a lie?
There never was a better time
For trying to set the words to rhyme
Of when a golden love turns blue
And dreams of dreams that won't come true
Every night i call your name
We're still together just the same
A lonely room, an empty bed
It always seems that way

10. _ Burden Of Shame
There are murders that we must account for
Bloody deeds have been done in my name
Criminal acts we must pay for
And our children will shoulder the blame
(chorus)
I`m a british subject, not proud of it
While i carry the burden of shame (repeat)
As a nation we`re following blindly
No-one stops to question why
Our money`s supporting an army
And a boy in soweto dies
(chorus)
I`m a british subject, not proud of it
While i carry the burden of shame (repeat)
Must we go on ignoring forever
The cries of an african son
There`s a soldier`s hand on the trigger
But it`s we who are pointing the gun
(chorus)
I`m a british subject, not proud of it
While i carry the burden of shame (repeat)

11. _ Food For Thought
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes,
Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies.
Skin and bones is creeping, does`nt know he`s dead.
Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head.
Politician`s argue sharpening their knives.
Drawing up their bargains, trading baby lives.
(chorus)
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Hear the bells are ringing, christmas on it`s way.
Hear the angels singing, what is that they say?
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay.
Jesus son of mary is born again today.
(chorus)
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.

12. _ Strange Fruit
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is a fruit for the crow to pluck
For the rain to wither, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

13. _ I Think It`s Going To Rain Today
Lonely, lonely,
Tin can at my feet.
Think i`ll kick it down the street,
That`s the way to treat a friend
Broken windows and empty hall ways
Pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey
Human kindness is overflowing
And i think it`s going to rain today
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away.
Human kindness is overflowing
And i think its going to rain today.
Right before me, the signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And i think it`s going to rain today.

14. _ My Way Of Thinking
Give me all you have (come over)
All you got to give (come over)
Save your guilt till tomorrow (come over)
Won't be that hard to live with
Satisfy my need (come over)
Won't be that easy (come over)
You gonna have to try a little harder baby (come over)
A little harder please me
Why tell me no (come over)
When what you mean is yeh yeh (come over)
You'll have to tell me what you want to do cos (come over)
You can't expect me to guess
Last verse repeats
My way of thinking

15. _ Little By Little
Poor man`s anger rising.
The ostrich hides his head.
Soon the red blood will be boiling.
And blue blood will be dead.
While we say.
(chorus)
Little by little by little,
And stone by stone.
Rich man`s mountain comes crumbling down
Poor boy sleeps on straw,
The rich boy sleeps in bed.
That fat boy fills his belly,
My poor boys`s a dead,
While we say.
(chorus)
Little by little by little,
And stone by stone.
Rich man`s mountain comes crumbling down.
The rich man drives his car past,
The poor man on bare feet.
That rich man do get what he wants
The poor must know defeat,
While we say.
(chorus)
Little by little by little,
And stone by stone.
Rich man`s mountain comes crumbling down.

16. _ The Earth Dies Screaming
A warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence,
The highways quiet scars across the land.
People lie, eyes closed, no longer dreaming,
The earth dies screaming.
Like scattered pebbles, cars lie silent waiting,
Oilless engines seized by dirt and sand.
Bodies hanging limp, no longer bleeding,
The earth dies screaming.
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Your country needs you, lets strike up the band.
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Despite all odds we must defend our land.
Half eaten meals lie rotting on the tables,
Money clutched within a boney hand.
Shutters down, the banks are not receiving,
The earth dies screaming.
