War on Injustice

You think you slick,
you think you slippery,
yet we going to get you.
No matter where you from
no matter where you hide:
behind the collar,
behind the stripes,
behind the color,
we going to fight you.
Just so you know,
Injustice,
this is war.

Your skin can't trick me.
Your speech can't fool me.
And your bars can't hold me.
If you are white,
if you are black,
brown or yellow
just so you know,
Injustice,
this is war.

If you a baby killer,
a woman beater,
ethnic cleanser,
or a Jew hater:
we are going to fight you:
with pens,
with fasting,
with prayers,
We are going to fight you:
with love,
with the body and the blood.
Just so you know,
Injustice,
this is war.

We are not going to sit at the corner
while you take us to the coroner:
we keep the land,
we keep the peace,
we keep Jerusalem,
we keep the temples.
Just so you know,
Injustice,
this is war.

A Youth of Janice Bronwyn Linden era and of 1976

The difference between a youth of Janice Bronwyn Linden era
And the youth of 1976

1976 Their daily bread was not yet sovereignty
And singing not yet uhuru
They heard a smell of injustice in old uniform
Rebellious against it everywhere and anywere!
They fought injustice with their lives
they fought every inhuman out of human

A youth of Janice Bronwyn Linden era
They sing not yet developed
And they have a freedom in their lifetime.
The streets are as they where in 1976
And the dust is still unsettled.

I sense a feeling of corruption, maqhabane!
Unruly against all those championing liberation
And defy them against all odds!

The class of 1976 died for justice
And youth Janice Bronwyn Linden dies for injustice.
A justice in injustice uniform.

Motherless Children

(traditional)
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead, lord.
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead, lord.
They dont have anywhere to go;
Wandering around from door to door.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, lord.
Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord.
Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord.
Father will do the best he can;
So many things a father cant understand.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, lord.
Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, lord.
Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, lord.
Sister will do the best she can;
So many things a sister cant understand.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead.
When your mother is dead, when your mother is dead.
When your mother is dead, lord, when your mother is dead.

Ramblin On My Mind

(by robert johnson)
I got rambling, I got rambling all on my mind.
I got rambling, I got rambling all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby, but she treats me so unkind.
I got mean things, I got mean things all on my mind.
I got mean things, I got mean things all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby, but she treats me so unkind.
Im going down to the station, catch the fastest train I see.
Im going down to the station, catch the fastest train I see.
I got the blues bout miss so-and-so, and her sons got the blues about me.
I got rambling, I got rambling all on my mind.
I got rambling, I got rambling all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby, but she treats me so unkind.

She Cares

Written by tommy shaw
Lead vocals by tommy shaw
I tried to be the perfect soldier
I tried to be what everyone said was expected
Somehow I was selected
Well, my hands were steady, my aim was true
But deep inside of my heart I knew
That I lacked the will
I just couldnt shoot to kill
And still she treats me like a human
She says shell still be there
I may not be a hero, but Ill be there
Because I know she cares
I worked hard to be the greatest lover
I wanted to be sure that I was her only one
Thats how I thought it was done
But I went too far, assumed too much
The need to feel a younger ones touch
Seemed important then
Oh what a fool Ive been
And still she treats me like a human (like a human)
She says shell still be there (that shell be there)
I dont quite understand it, shes been too fair
cause somehow she cares
I guess thats the way it goes, the way that it goes
And nobody knows what compels her
Shes seen my highs and lows and never let go
Oh yes she treats me like a human (like a human)
She says shell still be there (that shell be there)
I dont quite understand it, shes been too fair
cause somehow she cares
I guess thats the way it goes, the way that it goes
And nobody knows what compels her
Shes seen my highs and lows and never let go
And when the world has turned its back on me
I wont have to feel alone
cause I know she cares

Red Robin

Hi, it's a funny world! This mornin' when I woke
I saw red robin on the fence, an' heard the words he spoke.
Red robin, he's a perky chap, an' this was his refrain:
'Dear, it's a pity that poor Jenny is so plain.'

To talk like that about his wife! It had me scandalized.
I'd heard him singin' so before, but never recognised
The meaning of his chatter, or that he could be so vain:
'Dear, it's a pity that poor Jenny is so plain.'

I don't know how, I don't know why, but this reminded me
I was promised to the widow for this Sunday night to tea.
I'd promised her for weeks an' weeks, until she pinned me down.
I recollects this is the day, an' gets up with a frown.

I was thinkin' of the widow while I gets me clobber on -
Like a feller will start thinkin' of the times that's past an' gone.
An', while my thoughts is runnin' so, that bird chips in again:
'Dear, it's a pity that poor Jenny is so plain.'

Now, the widow's name is Jenny, an' it strikes me sort of queer
That my thoughts should be upon her when that robin's song I hear.
She ain't so homely neither; but she never could compare
With a certain bonzer vision with the sunlight in her hair.

When I wander down that evenin', she come smilin' to the gate,
An' her look is calculatin', as she scolds because I'm late.
She takes my hat an' sits me down an' heaves a little sigh.
But I get a queer sensation from that glimmer in her eye.

She starts to talk about the mill, an' then about the strike,
An' then she digs Ben Murray up an' treats him nasty-like;
She treats him crool an' cattish, as them soft, sweet women can.
But I ups an' tells her plainly that I think Ben is a man.

First round to me. But she comes back, an' says Ben is a cad
Who's made a laughin'-stock of her, an' treated her reel bad.
I twig she's out for sympathy; so counters that, an' says
That Ben's a broken-hearted man about the mill these days.

The second round to me on points; an' I was havin' hopes.
(I might have known that widows were familiar with the ropes.)
'But he'd never make a husband!' says the widow, with a sigh.
An' again I gets a warnin' from that glimmer in her eye.

I says I ain't no judge of that; an' treats it with a laugh.
But she keeps the talk on 'usbands for a minute an' a half.
I can't do much but spar a bit, an' keep her out of range;
So the third round is the widow's; an' the fight takes on a change.

Let’s Annoy Dad

I have a plan, I have a plan
I said as I washed my paw
Dad will come home and we'll all want some grub
He'll just walk by our dishes
And say, 'No yet.'
If we do it, right
He'll give us some grub
Maybe even some crunchies as well
The two boys raised their heads
'How’s all this going to happen? ' Arthur asked.
'If we annoy dad, I'm sure he'll give in.'
I replied with a grin.
'How do you suppose we annoy him? ' Arthur asked again.
'First I take his pencil and get him out of his chair
And he'll follow me.
We'll plant a toy mouse
So he can tred on. Barney can cry
Say look at my wagger
Dad being soft will give him a cuddle.
He will then give him some treats.
Knowing Dad, he will give us all treats.

Nipping away, I planted the mouse.
Barney curled up and lay to one side.
I pinched Dad’s pencil and ran.
Dad stepped on the mouse and stopped.
Barney cried on queue.
Dad reached down, picked him up,
gave him a cuddle.
Barney sang as he tickled him under his chin.
He carried him to the bed and put him down.
“There you go Barney, ” and stroked him again.
I dropped the pencil and fled down the stairs.
Dad picked up his pencil, ignoring me,
went back to his writing his poetry.
The plan didn't work the way I expected.
No treats, no crunchies, no nothing.
The boys looked at me as I entered the room.

“So much for your plan.” Barney said.
“Watch how mine goes and learn.”
Jumping off the bed, he went in Dad’s room.
He sat beside Dad, raised a shredder to his knee.
Dad moved him away gently time and again.
Finally Dad gave in, came down stairs.
He picked up our dished one, two and three.
Went to the cupboard where crunchies are kept.
Brought out a tin and put mush in each dish
Food at last.
I must remember how Barney did it.

If This Would Mean An End To A Chase

I wish I could issue rose glasses to those in need.
Those hoping to get a taste of that dangling carrot.
Or a slice of apple pie topped with homemade icecream.
If this would mean an end to a chase.
And heartaches embraced would fade away from desiring,
Such teased treats to feed and fantasize.

I wish I could purchase enough peppermint sticks,
To dip in minted tea...
For all of those wishing a life lived in comfort and luxury.
Wouldn't it be nice to see on TV...
Parents laughing and singing with their children happily,
While engaged as a family living life peacefully.

I wish I could issue rose glasses to those in need.
Those hoping to get a taste of that dangling carrot.
Or a slice of apple pie topped with homemade icecream.
If this would mean an end to a chase.
And heartaches embraced would fade away from desiring,
Such teased treats to feed and fantasize.

If this would mean an end to a chase.
To live their lives as they see fit.
Without the constant bombardment,
Of being fed nonsense.
And heartaches embraced would fade away from desiring,
Such teased treats to feed and fantasize.

Bertolt Brecht

To Posterity

1.

Indeed I live in the dark ages!
A guileless word is an absurdity. A smooth forehead betokens
A hard heart. He who laughs
Has not yet heard
The terrible tidings.

Ah, what an age it is
When to speak of trees is almost a crime
For it is a kind of silence about injustice!
And he who walks calmly across the street,
Is he not out of reach of his friends
In trouble?

It is true: I earn my living
But, believe me, it is only an accident.
Nothing that I do entitles me to eat my fill.
By chance I was spared. (If my luck leaves me
I am lost.)

They tell me: eat and drink. Be glad you have it!
But how can I eat and drink
When my food is snatched from the hungry
And my glass of water belongs to the thirsty?
And yet I eat and drink.

I would gladly be wise.
The old books tell us what wisdom is:
Avoid the strife of the world
Live out your little time
Fearing no one
Using no violence
Returning good for evil --
Not fulfillment of desire but forgetfulness
Passes for wisdom.
I can do none of this:
Indeed I live in the dark ages!

2.

I came to the cities in a time of disorder
When hunger ruled.
I came among men in a time of uprising
And I revolted with them.
So the time passed away
Which on earth was given me.

I ate my food between massacres.
The shadow of murder lay upon my sleep.

If I Do Invite The Eating Of Leftovers

Leftovers or once tasty treats
If there is anything used,
I would prefer to have near me...
Is a pair of old shoes,
I've taken off my tired feet.

Leftovers or once tasty treats,
I seldom eat.
Even if they happen to be delicious.
And If I do invite the eating of leftovers...
I initiated the cooking and generated the heat.

Moanin Low

Ralph rainger / howard dietz
Moanin low, my sweet man, I love him so
Though hes mean as can be
Hes the kind of man needs the kind
Of a woman like me
Gonna die if my sweet man should pass me by
If I die whereii he be
Hes the kind of a man needs the kind
Of a woman like me
Dont know any reason why
He treats me so poorly
What have I gone and done
Makes me troubles double with his worries
When surely I aint deserving of none
Moanin low
My sweet man is gonna go
When he goes, oh lordy
Hes the kind of a man needs the kind
Of a woman like memoanin low, my sweet man, I love him so
Though hes mean as can be
Hes the kind of man needs the kind
Of a woman like me
Gonna die if my sweet man should pass me by
If I die whereii he be
Hes the kind of a man needs the kind
Of a woman like me
Dont know any reason why
He treats me so poorly
What have I gone and done
Makes me troubles double with his worries
When surely I aint deserving of none
Moanin low
My sweet man is gonna go
When he goes, oh lordy
Hes the kind of a man needs the kind
Of a woman like me

Fine & Mellow

Billie holiday
My man dont love me
Treats me oh so mean
My man he dont love me
Treats me awfully
Hes the, lowest man
That Ive ever see
He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts in to love me
Hes so fine and mellow
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long repeat
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long repeat
Love will make you do things
That you know is wrong
But if you treat me right baby
Ill stay home everyday
But if you treat me right baby
Ill stay home everyday
But youre so mean to me baby
I know youre gonna drive me away
Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think its on baby
It has turned off and gone

I Must Have That Man

Dorothy fields / jimmy mchugh
Dont want my manny
I dont need a friend
My heart is broken
It wont ever mend
I aint much carin
Just where I will end
I must have that man
Im like an oven
Thats cryin for heat
He treats me awful
Each time that we meet
Its just unlawful
How that boy can cheat
But I must have that man
Hes hot as hades
A ladys not safe in his arms
When shes kissed
But Im afraid that hes cooled off
And maybe Im ruled off his list
Ill never be missed
I need that person much worsen just bad
Im falf alive and its drivin me mad
Hes only human if hes to be had
I must have that man
Dont want my manny
I dont need a friend
My heart is broken
It wont ever mend
I aint much carin
Just where I will end
I must have that man
Im like an oven
Thats cryin for heat
He treats me awful
Each time that we meet
Its just unlawful
How that boy can cheat
But I must have that man
Hes hot as hades
A ladys not safe in his arms
When shes kissed
But Im afraid that hes cooled off

Scaring Myself

She slams the front door
Cuz she knows that I cant stand it
Gives me the finger
Cuz she knows Im wrapped around it.
She calls me sweetheart
Cuz she knows it makes me weak.
She stepped in dog pooh
And Im still kissing her feet.
Can you believe how this girl
Treats me like a king?
[chorus:]
She took more than she gave to me
I gave my love, I got an std
And if she comes home,
I hope that shell marry me.
I want to tell her that its over now
Hey look, Im arguing with myself
I think that my girlfriend
Is bad for my mental health
And now Im scaring myself.
The roller coaster makes me sick and she knows it.
Thats why she always insists that I go on it
She told my friends that I need therapy
I need a self-help group or a lobotomy
Can you believe how this girl
Treats me like a king?
[chorus]
Im waking up
Im getting out.
