Which Side? |
| You might be a young man with the mountain in his step |
| In search of El Dorado, but you haven’t found it yet |
| Or you might be an old man with his whole life at his back |
| And you can hear eternity whispering down the track |
| Or maybe you’re a woman, or just about to be |
| And you can feel the generations swimming in your sea |
| But you know that it’s coming, as surely as the dawn |
| The battle for the future, baby, which side are you on? |
| Come on come on come on if you’re coming |
| Come on come on come on |
| Come on come on come on if you’re coming |
| Which side are you on? |
| Come on come on come on if you’re coming |
| Battle lines are drawn |
| Come on come on come on if you’re coming |
| Which side — which side are you on? |
| Which side? |
| The corporations attacking |
| The natural world — drilling and fracking |
| All done with the backing of the craven and corrupt |
| Or the ones who fight |
| For the Earth with all their might |
| And in the name of all that’s right |
| Confront and disrupt |
| There’s a restlessness out in the street there’s a question in the air |
| How long if this theft goes on will our country still be here? |
| People know the game is rigged even as they play |
| They see their expectations slowly slip away |
| They’ve got subsidies for billionaires, there’s a bailout for the banks |
| A monopoly on medicine, and a sale on armored tanks |
| The whole damned country’s being sold — out that revolving door |
| Between Washington and Wall Street like it’s one big Dollar Store |
| Come on come on come on if you’re coming |
| Come on come on come on |
| Come on come on come on if you’re coming |
| Which side are you on? |
| Come on come on come on if you’re coming |
| Battle lines are drawn |
| Come on come on come on if you’re coming |
| Which side — which side are you on? |
| Which side? |
| The bankers and their special friends |
| Who rob you time and again |
| Who like to pretend they’re the only game in town |
| Or the people who |
| Hope with everything they do |
| They can build something new |
| And turn this world around |
| Who owns the elections? |
| Who profits either way? |
| Who ends up with all that money politicians pay? |
| To be the fearless leader, to put themselves across |
| To be the one entrusted with the profit and the loss |
| You try hard to believe that when you cast your vote it counts |
| But elections are won with money in ever larger amounts |
| Take the money out of politics and maybe we might see |
| This country turn back into something more like democracy |
| Come on come on come on if you’re coming |
| Come on come on come on |
| Come on come on come on if you’re coming |
| Which side are you on? |
| Come on come on come on if you’re coming |
| Battle lines are drawn |
| Come on come on come on if you’re coming |
| Which side — which side are you on? |
