We don't need no burning crosses
Put out the fire of bigotry
We don't need to count our losse
When they burry you they'll burry me

I have a dream that we can be united
It will only work when fears are subsided
By the sweat of my brow i won't let it happen
Freedom for our heart's is my battle cry

[chorus]
Were living in troubled times
Were living in troubled times
How could we be so blind
We living in troubled times

Poor man beggin at a rich man's feet
He eats the crumbs off of the floor
We are starving for something to eat
We are whales up on the shore

There was a time we tore our country down
For the same reasons we fight for now
And if pride comes before a fall
Why tell me why they tore down the wall
