No Bones About It

The Good Seed

Lyrics:

Friends, we come, but friends- we all must go!
Time will tell, and all our secrets know.
Friends, we come, but friends we all must go;
But don't you know, we'll miss you when we're gone-
And don't you know, we'll miss you when you're gone!

Now, we're here, but soon we'll go away;
We're just ghosts from tomorrow's yesterday!
Now, we're here, but soon we'll all move on-
And you should know, we'll miss you when we're gone-
Don't you know, we'll miss you when you're gone!

We'll Miss You When You're Gone

My spirit is willing 
Though my flesh is weak;
Gotta gather up my courage 
for the truth to speak!

(Chorus)
Well time is short, though the days are long!
I might not be right,
But I don’t think I’m wrong!
Lift up your voices! 
Rise up in song! 
All Earth’s children, let’s soldier on!

—-
Hey, neighbor, let’s wake up,
And stay woke, for good!
Start planting seeds
In our own neighborhoods!

Well, if I start a protest,
Will you start one, too?
Gotta fight the Gerrymander
And expose fake news! 
—-
Free children from our prisons, and
Put strongmen in their place- 
Restore our country's honor
From this shame and disgrace!

Birthplace is no virtue,
And skin tone no vice-
Is there anything so cold
As the U.S. I.C.E.?
—-
Warriors for justice,
I see you take a knee-
Kaepernick just showed us
What we all should see!

Well if they work for justice,
Then we'll work for peace;
It's "Serve and protect," or
It's "Fuck the police!"
—-
If a job is worth the doing
Then it's worth the paying for
Either offer living wages, or
Take pitchforks from the poor!

If you lend me your hand,
Then I'll lend you mine,
We'll organize a rally 
With the local 49!
—-
We clearly suffer from a sickness,
And I wish us all good luck,
With no universal healthcare,
We're probably all fucked!

Don’t you give up hope, though-
You know there is a cure:
Come November 6th,
Vote the DSA, for sure!
—-
The seas they are a-rising,
And the plastics right on with;
But if you ask the corporations,
They’ll all plead the Fifth!

Our wounded Earth is boiling
And something’s got to give-
The flora and the fauna both 
We all just want to live!
—-
Oh so many problems 
In our fragile universe
Later when you sing this,
Add your own damn verse!

The body politic is willing,
Though the flesh is weak;
Gotta gather up the courage 
for the truth to speak!
—-
Well time is short, though the days are long!
I might not be right,
But I don’t think I’m wrong!
Lift up your voices! 
Rise up in song! 
All Earth’s children, let’s soldier on!

Soldier On (George Floyd salute)

Gather, ye rosebuds,
In power and in peace!
George Floyd was murdered
By the fucking police!

Rise up in fury
for the death of George Floyd-
yet another black life
our police have destroyed!

(Time is short, 
Though the days are long!
I might not be right, but
I don’t think I’m wrong!
Lift up your voices!
Rise up in song!
All Earth’s children, let’s soldier on!)

Now, I’m not for violence,
nor destruction defend,
but the killing of our black folks
has just got to end!

Hey, fellow white boys-
don’t like what you see?
Get out there and protest 
our killer PD!

(chorus)

I’ll help you do your part-
you help me do mine;
together we’ll sort out
the cops from the swine!

(Well), if they work for justice,
(then) we'll work for peace;
it's "Serve and protect," or
it's "Fuck the police!"

(chorus)

To move us all forward,
look back where we’ve been-
it’s time to redress  
our original sin!

This land where we’re living 
that some say we made,
was stolen from natives,
and built up by slaves!

(chorus)

The roots of our darkness 
Are strong and run deep;
Some say we’re wolves-
Some say we’re sheep.

Yeah, some say the former,
Some say the latter-
Me and my house,
We say ‘Black Lives Matter!’

(chorus)
