Lyrics
Yell Fire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A revolution never comes with a warning
A revolution never send you an omen
Revolution just arise like the morning
Ring the alarm we come to wake up the snorin'
They tellin' people never worry about the future
They tellin people never worry 'bout the torture
They tellin people that you'll never see the horror
Three piece suits and bank accounts in Bahamas
Wall Street crime will never send you to the slammer
Tell the children in the arms of the mamas
The F-15 is a homicide bomber
TV commercial for a pop-a-pill culture
Drug companies circle in like a vulture
Amer-aqui babies with a G.I. Joe father
Ten years from now is anybody gonna bother!!!
Yell Fire!!! Yo-ee, yo-yo, yo!
Everyone addicted to the same nicotine
Everyone addicted to the same gasoline
Everyone addicted to a Technicolor screen
Everybody tryin-a get their hands on the same green
From the banks of the river to the banks of the greedy
All of the money taken back by the needy
We come from the country and we come from the city
Play us on a record you can play us on a cd
All the chit you given us is fertilizer
The seed we planted you can never brutalize her
Tell the corporation they can never globalize it
Like Peter Tosh said, "legalize it!"
Girls and boys her the bass and treble
Rumblin' the speakers and it makes you wanna rebel
Throw your hands up take it to another level
And you never ever, ever make a deal with the devil!!!
