Nellie McKay - Unknown Reggae lyrics
[Nellie McKay - Unknown Reggae lyrics]
I met him at a protest
Dolled up in his finest finery
A Malcolm X t-shirt and a tambourine
To love him, it was hopeless
The cannons fell and shook the barricade
We came in at the corners i can hear him say
Eatin' that burger
Pass the kitchen condiments
Eatin' that murder
Don't let a hot sauce hit the spot
Eatin' that torture
Don't you let your conscience harm you?
Eye for that mother who can't see you suffer
And one for all and all for another
(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)
A long October under the sun
(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)
Change comes for the better (If you want it)
Our change will come hey, you
Eatin' that burger all you, all Americans
Eatin' that murder
Give the chef my compliments
Eatin' that torture
Yeah, you show such understandin'
Eye for that mother can't see you suffer
And one for all and all for another
(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)
A long October under the sun
(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)
Change comes for the better if you want it
Our change will come
Eatin' that burger
Pass the kitchen condiments
Eatin' that murder
Don't let a hot sauce hit the spot
Eatin' that torture
Won't you let your conscience warn you?
Eye for that mother you can't see suffer
Dolled up in his finest finery
A Malcolm X t-shirt and a tambourine
To love him, it was hopeless
The cannons fell and shook the barricade
We came in at the corners i can hear him say
Eatin' that burger
Pass the kitchen condiments
Eatin' that murder
Don't let a hot sauce hit the spot
Eatin' that torture
Don't you let your conscience harm you?
Eye for that mother who can't see you suffer
And one for all and all for another
(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)
A long October under the sun
(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)
Change comes for the better (If you want it)
Our change will come hey, you
Eatin' that burger all you, all Americans
Eatin' that murder
Give the chef my compliments
Eatin' that torture
Yeah, you show such understandin'
Eye for that mother can't see you suffer
And one for all and all for another
(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)
A long October under the sun
(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)
Change comes for the better if you want it
Our change will come
Eatin' that burger
Pass the kitchen condiments
Eatin' that murder
Don't let a hot sauce hit the spot
Eatin' that torture
Won't you let your conscience warn you?
Eye for that mother you can't see suffer
