He started young by driving a truck
He played his guitar, he had much luck
They made him a king, for singing some tunes
But still he died, at age 42.




And all now seek to cash in on his pain
And none dare say the words which should be plain:
“He wasted his life in a quest for perpetual fame.”
They changed him from a worker to a rich man
And made him so scared that he needed bodyguards
They twisted up both his mind and his body
And confused his soul completely with girl screams. (chorus)]]>

Play music still when they're old
But how Asbury Park's Revolt was crushed
Remains a tale untold. (chorus)]]>

And you refuse to be a wage slave

Whom they kept hidden away with the insane
They marketed his legend while they took away his pen
Yes, they drove Woody Guthrie to his grave. (chorus)]]>

(chorus)
Michael Brown was gunned down
In a Missouri town
And the grand jury refused to indict.
So the people did protest
For they could not find justice
And they vowed to continue the fight.

(verses)
Without a warrant
The cop ordered him to stop
And cursed him
For walking in the street.
Although he was unarmed
Six shots from the cop's gun
Killed the 18-year-old youth
Illegally.
How can we let these things happen?
We've got to stop these things happening. (chorus)

Without any trial
The cop sentenced him to die
On Canfield Drive
In Ferguson.
His black hands were in the air
But the white cop did not care
For he knew he'd get away
With murder.
How can we let these things happen?
We've got to stop these things happening. (chorus)

An act of petty theft
Is not punishable by death
According to the laws
Of the land.
Yet for alleged theft of two cigars
From the Ferguson Market store
The System lets cops
Kill a young Black man.
How can we let these things happen?
We've got to stop these things happening.
How can we let these things happen?
We've got to stop these things happening.]]> (lyrics)

On Virginia Tech's campus
In a Sandy Hook school
And in California and Colorado
And a Black church massacre
In South Carolina
And then 49 killed in Orlando.

(verses)
They claim drone wars in foreign lands
"Protect our security"
Yet the more they make war to change regimes
The less secure people seem to be. (chorus)

They cut programs that treat the mentally ill
To pay billions for "homeland security"
Yet they don't stop weapons being sold to the insane
Before they go on a shooting spree. (chorus)

He worked for G4S
That gets contracts to provide "security"
Yet before licensing him to shoot his gun
They failed to do enough screening. (chorus)

In the LGBT Pulse club
The homophobic guard staged his massacre
To kill civilians was his goal
In his lonely, mixed-up, suicidal war. (chorus)

The leaders still don't know that drone attacks
Create hate and not world peace
And negotiations, not more endless war,
Is the way to get homeland security. (chorus)]]> (lyrics)
