He said I am not a black man, I am not a soldier I am not the one who put this burden on your shoulders I cant see that hes helping anyone Seems the need to be standing in the sun Why does he keep acting like hes the only one whos hurting? He said Why dont you sit right down and listen to what I have to say? I said I dont wanna hear that story today Cant see that hes helping anyone Seems the need to be standing in the sun Why does he keep acting like hes the only one whos hurting? He said You gotta have some respect for your elder ones I said Respect is earned and learned and you cant teach it with a gun I cant see that hes helping anyone Seems the need to be standing in the sun Why does he keep acting like hes the only one whos hurting? And he kept going round and round in that same little ring Both of us just thinking the same thing Both of us just wishing that band would ring Both of us just wishing that band would ring Both of us just wishing that man would ring
