Tripping

Tripping - Black Power

First they ignore you

Then laugh at you and hate you

Then they fight you

Then you win

When the truth dies very bad things happen

They're being heartless again

I know it's gone when there's going to be violence

I've taken as much as I'm willing to take

Why do you think we should suffer in silence

When a heart is broken there's nothing to break

You've been messing with some very heavy faces

The boys have done a bit of bird

They don't kill their own

And they all love their mothers

But you're out of your depth son have a word

I know it's gone and there's going to be violence

I've taken as much as I'm willing to take

Why do you think we should suffer in silence

The heart is broken there's nothing to break

All is wonderful in this life

Dreaming of the son she wants

You should see me in the afterlife

Thinking of the sons so lost

When you think we're lost we're exploring

What you think is what you're soon adoring

You don't want the truth the truth is boring

I've got this fever need to

Leave the house

Leave the car

Leave the bad men where they are

I leave a few shells in my gun

Stop it's staring at the sun

I know it's gone and there's going to be violence

I've taken as much as I'm willing to take

Why do you say we should suffer in silence

My heart is broken there's nothing to break
