Tell the business man religious leader who offers promises to come and rescue you
Only if you give your money to the hands of his campaign
You'll be saved, you'll be saved, you'll be saved
He can play as long as you're willing to pay
Tell the man who takes your money just to pray
Tell those cunning, politician crocodiles
Who say, "Your smile is quite becoming, dear
Won't you come and stare awhile
At your beautiful reflection in this mirror called the Nile?
I swear that I won't hurt you and I'll let no one else hurt you
I'll never desert you for I'm a man of grace and virtue
Can't you see the honesty behind my smile?"
Tell the politician, cunning crocodiles
That I can not keep silent. No, I can not keep silent
Cut the tongue from my mouth but I'll still write it down
For I can not keep silent. No, I can not keep silent
Tell the over zealous men of needless fighting
Always out looking for some new fight to fight in
Who subscribe to the belief that the world can not be free
Without the interference of some country over seas
And lend all their money to the side they want to see - win
Who drop the bombs to roar like thunder and lightning
Tell the over zealous men out always fighting
That I can not keep silent. No, I can not keep silent
Cut the tongue from my mouth but I'll still write it down
For I can not keep silent. No, I can not keep silent
Tell the woman and the men and the children like you and me
The ones who stare every single day in disbelief
At everything that they despise happening right before their eyes
That it is time to recognize that we need to stand as one and rise
And realize that we were all born free
So this is for the women and the men and children like you and me
