Well, I'm about to get sick

From watchin' my TV

Been checkin' out the news

until my eyeballs fail to see

I mean to say that every day is

just another rotten mess

And when it's gonna change,

my friends, is anybody's guess

Wednesday I watched the riot,

I seen the cops out on the street

Watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff

and chokin' in the heat

Listened to reports about the

whisky passin' 'round

Seen the smoke and fire and

the market burnin' down

Watched while everybody on his

street would take a turn

To stomp and smash and bash and

crash and slash and bust and burn

Well, you can cool it you can heat it

'Cause, baby, I don't need it

Take your TV tube and eat it

And all that phony stuff on sports

and all the unconfirmed reports

You know I watched that rotten box

until my head began to hurt

From checkin' out the way the

newsmen say they get the dirt

Before the guys on channel so- and- so,

further they assert

That any show they'll interrupt

To bring you news if it comes up

They say that if the place blows up

They'll be the first to tell

Because the boys they got downtown are

workin' hard and doin' swell

And if anybody gets the news

Before it hits the street they say

that no one blabs it faster

Their coverage can't be beat

And if another woman driver

Gets machine- gunned from her seat

They'll send some joker with a brownie

and you'll see it all complete

Well, I seen the fires burnin'

and the local people turnin'

On the merchants and the shops who used

to sell their brooms and mops

And every other household item

Watched the mob just turn and bite 'em

And they say it served 'em right

Because a few of them are white

And it's the same across the nation,

black and white discrimination

Yellin' "you can't understand me!"

And all that other jazz they hand me

In the papers and TV and all that

mass stupidity

That seems to grow more every day

Each time you hear some nitwit say

He wants to go and do you in

'Cause the color of your skin

Just don't appeal to him

No matter if it's black or white because

he's out for blood tonight

Open in app

You know we gotta sit around at home

and watch this thing begin

But I bet there won't be many

left to see it really end

'Cause the fire in the street ain't

like the fire in the heart

And in the eyes of all these people don't

you know that this could start?

On any street, in any town,

in any state if any clown

Decides that now's the time to fight

For some ideal he thinks is right

And if a million more agree,

there ain't no great society

As it applies to you and me

Our country isn't free

And the law refuse to see if

all that you can ever be

Is just a lousy janitor

Unless your uncle owns a store

You know that five in every four

Just won't amount to nothin' more

Than watchin' rats go across the floor

And make up songs about being poor

Blow your harmonic
