The Young Will Overcome Lyrics - Singles - The Knockouts

Take Hollywood and move it Nashville 

And on my guitar I strum 

Took Nashville and moved it to Pittsburgh 

And there the dumb will overcome 

Take Frisco and move it to Cleveland 

It's time to change the slum 

Watts will go to Manhattan 

And soon the dumb will overcome 

Oh yes, the dumb will overcome 

The young will overcome 

We'll all be rejoicing when the young we overcome 

Take the bankers and make them policemen 

Take the policemen and put him in his jail 

And throw the army in the ocean 

No wars and nothing for sale 

Cause the dumb will overcome 

The young will overcome 

We'll all be rejoicing when the young we overcome 

Stop killing all of the wildlife 

Everyone let their kids go free 

Just open your eyes mister 

And you can see that you can see 

That the dumb will overcome 

The young will overcome 

We'll all be rejoicing when the young we overcome 

Soon weíll move California 

An earthquake will surely come 

Valley Of death and youíll find us 

There ainít no place else to run 

Cause the dumb will overcome 

The young will overcome 

We'll all be rejoicing when the young we overcome 

In our minds we look for peace and freedom 

We may have to do it on the run 

It won't make no difference 

Cause the dumb will overcome 

Yes, the dumb will overcome 

The young will overcome 

We'll all be rejoicing when the young we overcome
