The Nameless
There was a man who did the time without the crime
Rich man laughs walking down the street can’t spare a dime
On La Rue Avenue he plays the blues for free
She sings and brings all the things of her reality
We are the nameless but we have names
We are the players but these ain’t games
And the government is full of shames
We are the nameless but we have names
Once I was Pharoah but that was a long time ago
I don’t get out that much maybe a disco
Hannibal is marching the elephants are dreaming
Armies being trampled no telling whose screaming
We are the nameless but we have names
We are the players but these ain’t games
And the government is full of shames
We are the nameless but we have names
America the empire who never lost in a war
America the empire it’s Babylon the Whore
They called them Indians but Columbus got lost
They called them Indians I’m still counting the cost
A summers day on the burning plantation field
Singing songs of freedom the spirit won’t yield
A vision of glory Jesus carrying his cross
“Come on you slaves work harder” yells out the big boss
We are the nameless but we have names
We are the players but these ain’t games
And the government is full of shames
We are the nameless but we have names
Billionaires want to shoot rocket ships out to Mars
Paupers are hooting coveting electric guitars
And poets like me write songs trying to give hope
They’ll hang themselves for sure just give them enough rope
We are the nameless but we have names
We are the players but these ain’t games
And the government is full of shames
We are the nameless but we have names
