Beat Down The Dust |
| He said «man, there’s got to be a plan |
| There’s always been a plan and |
| What’s happening ain’t right |
| And we can’t let go of our power |
| 'Cause we’re rich and we’re straight and we’re white |
| Content with our sins |
| But don’t you go calling us selfish |
| Comfortable in our own skin |
| As long as it doesn’t touch anyone else’s |
| Time to beat down the dust |
| Can’t have it dragging us down |
| Can’t have it clinging to us |
| Can’t have it turning us brown" |
| He said «Man has always been the man |
| And that’s always been the way it should be |
| And they don’t need to understand |
| As long as we make them |
| Believe that they’re free |
| And keep everyone scared |
| That something’s being taken away |
| That’s the only way to keep |
| Things 'Back in the day'" |
| Time to beat down the dust |
| Can’t have it dragging us down |
| Can’t have it clinging to us |
| Can’t have it turning us brown |
| Time to beat down the dust |
| Can’t have it rising you see |
| Time to beat down the dust |
| Keep it off you and me |
| And when the day finally comes |
| We’ll be so far away |
| They’ll never know what we stole |
| It’ll be all hidden away |
| And we can supply our own energy |
| God knows we own enough companies |
| Maybe even start our own country |
| Where all rich, white men are free |
| Time to beat down the dust |
| Can’t have it dragging us down |
| Can’t have it clinging to us |
| Can’t have it turning us brown |
| Time to beat down the dust |
| Can’t have it rising you see |
| Time to beat down the dust |
| Keep it off you and me |
