Paul Robeson - The World

作曲 : Franz Alexander Nicolay
Joy beats oppression
But oppression will make you pay
Cause our joy is fleeting
Oppression never goes away
You look them right in the eye
You stare and shout them down
But joy, our joy
Don't really care for fighting
While oppression will wait around for you to blink
Joy beats oppression
But oppression will make you pay
Speak up, black out, black listed, full bodied, redó
He gave us everything he could
But he got tired man
We all get tired when we ain't thinking so good
When he got tired this country
It took back every damn thing
That it god damn could
Bullies will always take back what they can
From the free, from the poor lucky drunks
Who just don't give a damn
This country will always take back everything it can
Speak up, black out, black listed, full bodied, redó
He wasn't in it for hisself
He was in it for you and for me
But he fought it alone
And that makes you bitter and mean
For a while this could be so good
For tonight we make the rules
Here inside this club
Me and the girls are here to tell you
They're ****ing with you
'cause they want what you have
Things are really pretty damn funny
Things ain't really quite so bad
Take this one thing with you to home
And to work and to school to mom and to dad
There are moments when you can stop the world
Remember that friends and don' t be sad
Take this one thing with you to home
And to work and to school to mom and to dad
Don't hang a man out to dry again
Don't make him fight it all alone again
Speak up, black out, black listed, full bodied, red
