I Just Gotta Know

Hey, people are you ready to get in the streets?
To be your own police?
Are you ready to start tonight
To stand up and fight for your rights?

I gotta know.

Young people would you do the patriotic thing?
Are you ready to stand up and sing?
That you're tired of the war and all that shit?
Oh, tell me, are you ready to do your bit?

You gotta take a stand
Give your brother a helping hand.
We got to start today
So tomorrow our kids can play.
We better do what's right
So we don't have to fight
No more.

'Bout the only way I see that we can change the plan
Is to vote and get our man
The man whose not afraid
And one wh's not over-paid.

I gotta know.

You gotta take a stand
Give your brother a helping hand
We got to start today
So tomorrow our kids can play.
We better do what's right
So we don't have to fight
No more.

I Don't Wanna Be Their Fool No More

CREEPIN'

Hey, everybody won't you lend me your ear
There's something to fear, it's here, and that's clear.
Men gettin' rich off rapin' the land
I can't understand why we don't take them in hand.

Oh Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
I don't want to be their fool no more.
Open eyes, but you're sleepin'
You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.
'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.

Feel that our lives are in the hands of fools
Losin' their cool, it's us that they rule.
Too many people sittin' dead on their ass
They ain't got no class, people this time must pass.

Oh Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
Hey ... I don't want to be their fool no more.
Open eyes, but you're sleepin'
You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.
'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.

Oh ... yeah, tomorrow comes creepin'.

Oh ... hear me cryin' 'cause the people like me
That long to be free are not actually.
Please everybody won't you hear this song
Help a country that's wrong to someday be strong.

Oh Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
No! Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
Open eyes, but you're sleepin'
You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin'.
Creepin' ...

Creepin' ...

Tomorrow comes creepin'.
