Tell Somebody (Repeal The Patriot Act Now) lyrics

Song information

Artist: Rickie Lee Jones
Album: Evening Of My Best Day

Lyrics

Not long ago it was alright
There were no bad dreams that kept me up at night
It was not brother against brother
Mother against mother

So tell somebody
You've got to tell somebody
Tell somebody what happened in the usa

Now they want us to just get in line
Behind a president
When you know they spent milions of dollars
Condemning and accusing
The last one from the other side

Tell somebody, tell somebody
Tell somebody
What's happening in the usa?
Tell somebody, tell somebody
Tell somebody
What happened in the usa

Tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody…

I want to know how far you will go
To protect our right of free speech?
Because it only took a moment
Before it faded out of reach..

Oh, tell somebody, tell sombody right now
Tell somebody
What happened in the usa?
I wanna read about it in the news
I wanna hear about it on tv, yeah
What happened in the usa?
When they ask you
What happened in the usa?
Tell sombody
They'll wanna know, oh people

The depth of our democracy
Is only as good as the voices of protest that she protects
Voices of protest - rise up!
