Same Thing Lyrics - Fight With Tools - Flobots

Somewhere between prayer and revolution 

Between Jesus and Huey P. Newton 

That's where you find Jonny 5 shoot shootin' 

Water guns at the audience while ya scootin' 

Your glutenous max due to the fact that I'm tootin' 

On the horn gonna warn you that I'm rootin' 

For the other team in the culture wars 

So I stab the beast belly while the vulture snores 

Yo Joe! 

Let it blow with convulsive force 

Till walls fall off their false supports 

Till Jericho's aircraft carriers alter course 

And all brave young Americans are called ashore 

Cause we've already lost the war they keep wagin' 

Splattering the streets in battles that keep ragin' 

Bloodyin' each page of the story that we're studying 

Each day the same just the names keep changin' 

[Chorus:] 

Saying the same things over again 

Repeatin' the same slogans we don't know where we've been 

We've been all over the globe on our government's funds 

Leavin' man woman and child dead bloody and numb 

Saying the same things over again 

Repeatin' the same slogans we don't know where we've been 

We've been overthrowing leaders with legitimate views 

Democratically elected but we didn't approve 

How many times can the line divide 

How many wars to uphold your pride 

Fears uncontrolled just swoll the tide 

Of blood in the streets while the people die 

I'ma keep on tryin' 

Longs as suffering's multiplyin' 

And why not 

Souls get tossed and left out to rot 

My backs broad enough to help left your cross 

As long as you help with mine 

The process of healing will take some time 

To see the pain on your face is the same as mine 

Not a game or a race but the stake is high 

We maintain our mistakes for the sake of sides 

As long as it takes I"ll say it one more time 

As long as it takes I'll say it one more time 

As long as it takes I'll say it one more time 

[Chorus] 

We need money for health-care and public welfare 

Free mumia and Leonard peltier 

Human needs not corporate greed 

Drop the debt and legalize weed 

We say yes to grassroots organization 

No to neoliberal globalization 

Bring the troops back to the USA 

And shut down Guantanamo Bay 

The same things over again 

My throat's so sore from shoutin' no war for the soldiers again 

Lookin' for cloud cover when the explosions begin 

Lookin' the crowd over wonder if you where we've been 

We've been all over the globe Iran to Nicaragua 

Guatamala Angola grenada 

Dominican republic Haiti chile 

It don't stop and it won't stop unless we keep say 

[Chorus] 

Who let'em overthrow Jacobo Arbenz 

Who let'em overthrow Mohammad Mosaddeq 

Who let'em assassinate Salvador Allende 

I didn't let them but they did it anyway 

Who let'em overthrow Kwame Nkrumah 

Who let'em overthrow Aristide 

Who let'em assassinate Oscar Romero 

I didn't let'em but they did indeed! 

Don't let them assassinate Hugo Chavez 

Don't let them assassinate Evo Morales 

Bring back Martin,, Malcolm, Medgar, Hampton, Goodman, Schwerner, Chaney
