lyrics

Good on you my friends, you really hit the ground runnin’
Willing to make a stand, apathy left it was sudden
Working for what you believe in though adversity is cunnin’
There is a power when we act together
Through creativity we can be clever
This thing is wings, and each of us a feather
In our endeavor to make it all much better

It will take a stretch, but we are patient
The time from seed to fruit may be longer than the life of an eggplant
We will speak our truth using human amplification
Flowing like water with internet coordination
Focus on real time, broadcasting the present
A kind of protection from distortive spin
At least until police agitation comes in

Good on you my friends, months have passed you’ve been persistent
Direct action is working the powers that be are listenin’
Well it don’t mean they see our side, they continue to build resistance
Free reign to detain, a new bill to prove it
Held without trial, that’s so unconstitutional
They have got power, they can abuse it
But the system in place, we are free to refuse it

Can we take money out of politics
I mean really, is that possible
It could be so good if we could
Get proper representation from the people

Good on you my friends, you really hit the ground runnin’
