SwingI've got a soul that cannot sleep
At night when something just ain't right
Blood red but without sight
Exploding egos in the nightMix like sticks of dynamite
Red black or white, this is my fight
Come on courage, let's be heard
Turn feelings into wordsAmerican equality has always been sour
An attitude, I would like to devour
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of powerThe power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equalityRight or wrong, my song is strong
You don't like it, get along
Say what I want, do what I can
Death to the message of the Ku Klux KlanI don't buy supremacy
Media chief, you menace me
The people you say 'cause all the crime
Wake up motherfucker and smell the slimeBlackest anger, whitest fear
Can you hear me, am I clear
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of powerThe power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equalityWell, I've got tapes, I've got CD's
I've got my Public Enemy
My Lilly white ass is tickled pink
When I listen to the music that makes me thinkNot another, motherfuckin' politician
Doin' nothin' but something for his own ambition
I never touch the sound we make
Soul sacred love, vows that we takeTo create straight what is true
Yo, he's with me and what I do
My name is peace, this is my hour
Can I get just a little bit of powerThe power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equalityMadder than a motherfucker, lick my finger
Can't forget 'cause the memory lingers
Count 'em off quick, little Piccadilly sickness
Take me to the hick, eat my thicknessI've got a welt from the Bible belt
Dealing with the hand that I've been dealt
Sitting in the grip of a killing fist
Giving up blood just to existRub me wrong and I get pissed
No I cannot, get to this
People in pain, I do not dig it
Change of brain for Mr.BigotLittle brother do you hear me
Have a heart oh come get near me
Misery is not my friend
But I'll break before I bendWhat I see is insanity
What ever happened to humanity
What ever happened to humanity
What ever happened to humanity
