Lyrics " Leave A Penny "

Original text with translation

Leave A Penny

Exposition

Waitin' on the time

When the last shall be first

And the first shall be last (ha ha)

I, I, I hold my heart in the palm of my hand

And I give it to man

You, you, you

Can do the same just by taking a stand and sing along with the band

We, we, we will stand tall draw a line in the sand

And make 'em meet our demands

This is it

You’re either in or you’re out

You’re either with us or you’re not brother

Power to the proletariat

The people never fallin' off

Spittin' revolution like a Soviet Kalashnikov

Red star badges patrolling the streets

We put the toes to the pigs so police the police

Because Congress can’t help they’ll filibust us full o' holes

We’ll storm the Beltway and fill a busta full o' holes

That’s that Pancho Villa justice

And they’ll say Victor’s brain has finally left him

My family’s fallen far too deep

Put 'em on that list of casualities of ideology

Cause we’re broadcasting live from the Sierra Maestra

An po- to the pigs we coming to get ya

Mr. Ashcroft no we didn’t forget ya

The ax grinds slow I hope it doesn’t upset ya

Upset ya

I, I, I hold my heart in the palm of my hand

And give it to man

You, you, you

Can do the same just by taking a stand and sing along with the band

We, we, we stand tall draw a line in the sand

And make 'em meet our demands

This is it

You’re either in or you’re out

You’re either with us or you’re not my sister

Now let me tell you how to lower the gas price

You get a bunch of friends that want to lower the gas price

You grab the CEO by his tie and say that’s right

You’re dead if you don’t sign the paper, lower the gas price (Bo)

Then people want to know who the squad is

That be robbing from the rich like we was Hugo Chavez

And give it to the poor like young Fidel Castro

Anybody standing in the way we march yo

Erase attack yo come forth and back yo

Don’t even see no difference 'tween the blacks and whites yo

It’s just a bunch of bullshit they tryin' to distract you

You checkin' for the front, when they rush in the back door

They pump you full of fear

Eliminate the middlemen

Say run along sheep and be a good little citizen

But that ain’t me

And no way it never will be

Yo these motherfuckers are gonna have to kill me

«There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious,

makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part, you can’t even passively

take part.

And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels,

upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop!

And you’ve got indicate to the people who run it and the people who own it,

that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all.»

I, I, I hold my heart in the palm of my hand

And I give it to man

You, you, you

Can do the same just by taking a stand and sing along with the band

We, we, we will stand tall draw a line in the sand

We’ll make 'em meet our demands

This is it

You’re either in or you’re out

You’re either with us or you’re not my people

Hah!
