We Gotta Change

WE GOTTA CHANGE
(C)Salem Jones

We’re like bodies in the street
Treatin’ each other like meat
When we all should be bowin’
At one another’s feet

Big pharma’s buyin’ the farms
With their killer political charms
And the angels hold the painted ladies with the babies
In their confused arms

We’re gonna beat this horse ‘til it’s an animal
Scarred and unsound
In this age it’s all the rage
To keep keepin’ each other down/That’s in the process of takin’ us down

WE’LL NEVER RIDE THIS ONE HOME
WE GOTTA CHANGE 3X
LOOK HOW MUCH WE COULD’VE GROWN
WE GOTTA CHANGE 3X
WE’LL NEVER RIDE THIS ONE HOME
Now what about love & sweet offerings?
Ladies we used to be softer things
Listen!
Fear’s the bell that tells all when it rings

And men, gentlemen, what do you think?
How much further do you have to sink?
Fear’s the bell that tells you to line up to the poison well
And drink

Pre-chorus As above
CHORUS AS ABOVE

BRIDGE
WE CAN DIE HAPPY OR WE CAN DIE IN HASTE
WE CAN DIE LAUGHIN’ OR LET ME TELL YOU
LIVIN’S BEEN A WASTE
WE CAN DIE SOARIN’, SIGHIN’, CLIMBIN’, CRYIN’
SINGIN’ SAD SONG
ROLLIN’ WITH THE PUNCHES WITH OUR BOOTS ON
OR WE CAN LIVE, YA LIVE, I WANNA LIVE, LET’S LIVE

CHORUS AS ABOVE
WE WANNA RIDE HOME
