about

Another race-conscious piece... I witnessed racism in the south while in the army and in Milwaukee while working in a factory and in my home town and in myself. Then there's war... and greed, selfishness... the root of which, ego.

lyrics

The men carry guns their race
is whiter than the drapery on their face
they love to do murder in trees
love to see fear in the knees

chorus:
men such as this heavy handed fist
(high upon my list - 2.)
how you gonna change the world?

2.
men droppin bombs their country
is purer than the sacred palm tree
for certain ideas they'll kill me
swearin all the while they're free - chorus

3.
why should I work for another
I ain't no keeper of my brother
only got a short sweet time
all that I can grab is mine - chorus
