Lyrics
One thing people you better know
One thing you better understand
When you vote for a killer ina democracy
You got blood on your hands
One thing people you can't escape
One battle you can't win
When the time comes and your number is called
You'll have to pay for his sins
The sins of the rich become your sins
When you vote for the rich man's son
The crimes against the poor become your crimes
You'll pay when your race is run.
One thing people you gotta know
One thing you better get straight
When you vote for a killer in a democracy
You seal your own damned fate
Come on people open your eyes
See what's on the end of your spoon
If you ignore the pain you inflict
That pain will come back your way soon
When you take food from the mouths of the poor
You wallow in the rich man's greed
When you repress your fellow man
Your soul had better take heed
One thing people you better know
One thing you better realize
It's your duty in a democracy
To see through all the self-serving lies
Come on people open your eyes
See what's on the end of your spoon
If you ignore the pain you inflict
That pain will come back your way soon
One thing people you better know
One thing you better understand
When you vote for a killer ina democracy
You got blood on your hands!!!
