Military Industrial Complex

Military Industrial Complex

 

Every weapon

Is a dream forsaken

A piece of bread

Taken

From the mouth of the poor

Such is the horror

Of war

The factories work day and night

Weapons, uniforms, food, for those who fight

They are generously paid

For the goods that are made

See wicked men gray and old

Coveting coffers full of gold

Hear the tale they tell

Making Eden hell

All is not well

Nor shall things be

Until we are free

Of organized hate

We have no time to wait

The ship is sinking in the stormy sea

We must be free

In the depths of my heart there is a hole

I feel it vex

My soul

The Military Industrial Complex

Satan’s soldiers with suit and tie

Manipulating the nation with lie after lie

Hear the perishing baby

Give its final cry

Why?

For profits

For profit they die

To my Sistah

 To my Sistah

 

Assata

Who defined good hair?

Or defines the styles

That we wear

 

And Assata

I believe that revolution

Is the solution

But sister I say

Not your way

No not with violence and hate

Hear my voice and contemplate

 

Assata

One day they’ll read this poem at my trial

And you’ll laugh like heaven and smile

For I have found the way to victory

Loving my enemy

 

Assata

When the time comes

And the generals are beating their war drums

Believe it to be true

I Love you

And keep control

Cause even Richard Nixon has God’s soul

A youth to speak the truth

And a song sung by Young
