"Lady Liberty" lyrics
Galactic & Irma Thomas Lyrics
Take a look outside, you can see that the whole damn world's on fire
When the world goes cold, the fire burns hot and the people are tired
Let em know where you stand or we could all just lie down on this land
We ain't a castle in the sand that you can come and just down knock down with your hand
Get up for something or you can fall for anything
No, this ain't no way to treat a human being, no
There's some people outside and they're feeling so tired they've done had enough
Another black man shot down last night and they keep adding up
Is this the world that we're living in?
The one we raise our children in
Lord save us all, Lady Liberty took a fall
The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same
In justice was and is the fuel that feeds the flame
How long can history repeat itself, Lord we need some help
Time to shuffle these cards that we've been dealt and free ourselves
If you don't do something, you know nothing's gonna change
We're writing history but every page is the same
There's some people outside and they're feeling so tired they've done had enough
Another black man shot down last night and they keep adding up
Is this the world that we're living in?
The one we raise our children in
Lord save us all, Lady Liberty took a fall
Ooh, lately I've been feeling strange
I want to see a change
There's got to be a better way than this
Ooh, and if we can learn to love
Maybe we can rise above
Are you hearing me, Lady Liberty?
There's some people outside and they're feeling so tired they've done had enough
Another black man shot down last night and they keep adding up
Is this the world that we're living in?
The one we raise our children in
Lord save us all, Lady Liberty took a fall
There's some people outside and they're feeling so tired they've done had enough
Another black man shot down last night and they keep adding up
Is this the world that we're living in?
The one we raise our children in
Lord save us all, Lady Liberty took a fall
When the world goes cold, the fire burns hot and the people are tired
Let em know where you stand or we could all just lie down on this land
We ain't a castle in the sand that you can come and just down knock down with your hand
Get up for something or you can fall for anything
No, this ain't no way to treat a human being, no
There's some people outside and they're feeling so tired they've done had enough
Another black man shot down last night and they keep adding up
Is this the world that we're living in?
The one we raise our children in
Lord save us all, Lady Liberty took a fall
The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same
In justice was and is the fuel that feeds the flame
How long can history repeat itself, Lord we need some help
Time to shuffle these cards that we've been dealt and free ourselves
If you don't do something, you know nothing's gonna change
We're writing history but every page is the same
There's some people outside and they're feeling so tired they've done had enough
Another black man shot down last night and they keep adding up

The one we raise our children in
