Yell Fire Lyrics - Yell Fire! - Michael Franti

A revolution never come with a warnin' 

A revolution never sends you an omen 

A revolution just arrived like the mornin' 

Ring the alarm, we come to wake up the snorin' 

They tellin' you to never worry about the future 

They tellin' you to never worry about the torture 

They tellin you that you'll never see the horror 

Spend it all today and we will bill you tomorrow 

Three piece suits and bank accounts in Bahamas 

Wall Street crime will never send you to the slammer 

Tell all the children in the arms of their mommas 

The F-15 is a homicide bomber 

TV commercials for a popping pill culture 

Drug companies circling like a vulture 

Ameri- Iraqi babies with a G.I. Joe father 

Ten years from now is anybody gonna bother? 

Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo 

Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo 

Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo 

Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo 

A revolution never come with a warnin' 

A revolution never sends you an omen 

A revolution never come with a warnin' 

A revolution 

Everyone addicted to the same nicotine 

Everyone addicted to the same gasoline 

Everyone addicted to a Technicolor screen 

Everybody trying to get their hands on same green 

From the banks of the river to the banks of the greedy 

All of the riches taken back by needy 

We come from the country and we come from the city 

You play us on the record, you can play us on the CD 

All the shit you given us is fertilizer 

The seeds that you planted you can never brutalize them 

Tell the corporation you can never globalize it 

Like Peter Tosh said, 'Legalize It' 

Girls and boys hear the bass and treble 

Rumble in the speakers and it make you wanna rebel 

Throw your hands up, take it to another level 

And you can never, ever, ever make a deal with the devil 

Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo 

Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo 

Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo 

Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo 

Throw your hands up 

Throw your hands up 

Just throw your hands up 

Throw your hands up 

A revolution never come with a warnin' 

A revolution never sends you an omen 

A revolution never come with a warnin' 

Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo 

Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo 

Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo 

Yell fire, yo, yo, yo, yo 

A revolution never come with a warnin' 

A revolution never sends you an omen 

A revolution just arrives like the mornin' 

Ring the alarm, we come to wake up the snorin' 

Yell fire, yo, yo, yo 

Here we come, here we come 

A revoution'll come 

Put 'em up, put 'em up
