Anti-Flag - Vieques, Puerto Rico: Bikini Revisited lyrics

All united, all as one let's make a stand
We've got a privilege in the power
That we command

So let's not drown in ignorance
And let our strength waste away
As the richest nation in the world
We've got a responsibility

Vieques, Puerto Rico, a protectorate
Of the USA
Part a home to native families, the rest
A Navy bombing range

Shells they misfired kill civilians there
And napalm hangs in the island air
But the government beats down
Protests against this misuse

So stand up, fight back
Resist, refuse 'Cause if we don't do it


No one's going to so
Stand up, fight back resist, refuse
'Cause if we don't do it no one's going to
I look into the eyes of
A dead island boy's face
His remind me of another's
From a different time and place

Where A-bombs baked the ground
Of Bikini's tropical lands
Where a culture was erased families replaced
By a Nazi-esque like plan

All done in your name
By Uncle Sam so if we don't fight it
Then we're guilty too

So stand up, fight back
Resist, refuse 'Cause if we don't do it
No one's going to, oh

I think it's 'bout time that we had a change
I think it's 'bout time that we make a change
I think it's 'bout time that we had a change
(yeah)
I think it's 'bout time that we make a change
(Yo)
I think it's 'bout time that we had a change
(No)
I think it's 'bout time that we make a change
Make a change, a change, a change
'Bout time we had a change ()
'Bout time we make a change ()
'Bout time we make a change change
'Bout time we make a we make a change
