AND THERE IS BLOOD ON THE WIRE

[seemslikeadream]

Bill Moyers is not a psychic he's just plain smart. We should have listened to him then, will you listen to him now. Impeachment is the only solution.

I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war

And there's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs

On the radio talk shows and the t.v.
You hear one thing again and again
How the u.s.a. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends--
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally cant take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
There are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

Theres a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we cant even say the names

They sell us the president the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But theyre never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

1. Wonderful.... but to change Americas imperial ways

takes alot more than just impeachment of one president... America has always been imperalistic, and all presidents (dem and rethug) have carried out those imperialistic policies.

We need an awakening, like a renaissance or revolution, that will free us from corporatism and greed. We need an awakening that will teach Americans to truly care about people and not about material things..

They have been saying for years now, that this millenium is the AGE of Aquarius, where the patriarchal system will give way to the return of the matriachal system.... Maybe that is exactly what we need....before we bring about our own destruction.

Any yes mi bredren... Jah nuh dead.

2. You may be right about it taking a lot more than the

impeachment of one president.

But I feel it is a good place to start. We need to show the future Presidents that they can't get away with any illegal acts. Nothing will stop if they think they can get away with it.

That and the fact that * did so much bad stuff, he needs to pay for it.

Where do you think we should start?

3. Oh I agree... Impeachment is a GIVEN!... This admin

MUST pay for its crimes... And yes thats a good start..

But my point is much more deeper than that. We need a complete overhaul of our value systems to truly change our ways...

Don't you know
Theyre talkin bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
Theyre talkin about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know
Theyre talkin bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take whats theirs

Dont you know
You better run, run, run...
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run...

Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin bout a revolution

What happens when unresolved scandals take a back seat to a domestic agenda?

Marcus Garvey's words come to pass,
Marcus Garvey's words come to pass,

Ain't got no food to eat,
Ain't got no money to spend, wo-oo-oo
Ain't got no food to eat,
Ain't got no money to spend, woo-oo-oo

Come, little one and let me do what i can do for you
And you and you alone
Come, little one, come wo-oo-oo
Let me do all i can do for you and you alone, woo-oo-oo

He who knows the right thing
And do it not
Shall be spanked with many stripes,

Weeping and wailing and moaning,
You've got yourself to blame, I tell you.
Do right do right do right do right do right,
Do right do right do right do right do right
Tell ya to do right, woo-oo-oo
Beg ya to do right, woo -oo- oo

Where is bagawire, he's nowhere to be found
He can't be found
First betrayer who gave away Marcus Garvey
Son of satan, first prophesy,
hold 'em Marcus hold 'em
prohey fulfilled
Catch them, Garvey old

Prophesy fullfilled
Catch them Garvey, catch them woo-oo-oo
Hold them Marcus, hold them woo-oo-oo
Marcus garvey, marcus woo-oo-oo
