Lyrics
Redhaired Girls
This is a song for the Afghan man
Whose little girl went and died in his hands
He?s gonna be at the end, he?s gonna want some revenge
This here?s a song for the poor, rich boy
Whose dear daddy never gave him no choice
He?ll censor all that you hear
Mis-educate you with fear
Chorus:
I got beat down by the redhaired girls who said,
?Boy you ain?t never gonna change the world?
I think you speak too soon
I'll be the future and your moon tonight
This here?s a song for the country kid
Who never got to college, like her dad never did
She?ll be a hero today, she saved the U.S. of A
Lights, camera, action and the irony
Of ghetto kids setting the country clubs free
You see the knowledge costs cash,
But the bullets are free
Chorus:
See the shock, awe and bloodshed you still don?t care
When the rains coming down we will all be there
Be you Jews, Muslims, Christians or a politician man
When the rains coming down we will all be there
In the babies bodies, concrete and the crying for the dead
When the shit?s coming down we will all be there
Well you know he?s not frightened but thank god we?re all scared
When the rains coming down we will all be there
