Troubled Times

We don't need no burning crosses

Put out the fire of bigotry

We don't need to count our losses

When they bury you, they'll bury me

I have a dream that we can be united

It will only work when fears are subsided

By the sweat of my brow I won't let it happen

Freedom for our heart's is my battle cry

Poor man beggin' at a rich man's feet

He eats the crumbs off of the floor

We are starving for something to eat

We are whales up on the shore

We're living in troubled times

We're living in troubled times

We're living in troubled times

There was a time we tore our country down

For the same reasons there we fight for now

And if pride comes before a fall

Then why tell me why we tore down the wall

We're living in troubled times

We're living in troubled times

Troubled times

We're living in troubled times

We're living in troubled times

Troubled

Troubled

Troubled
