Nellie McKay - Unknown Reggae Lyrics
I met him at a protestDolled up in his finest fineryA Malcolm X t-shirtAnd a tambourineTo love him, it was hopelessThe cannons fell and shook the barricadeWe came in at the cornersI can hear him sayEatin' that burgerPass the kitchen condimentsEatin' that murderDon't let a hot sauce hit the spotEatin' that tortureDon't you let your conscience harm you?Eye for that motherWho can't see you sufferAnd one for all and all for another(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)A long October under the sun(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)Change comes for the better(If you want it)Our change will comeHey, youEatin' that burgerAll you, all AmericansEatin' that murderGive the chef my complimentsEatin' that tortureYeah, you show such understandin'Eye for that motherCan't see you sufferAnd one for all and all for another(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)A long October under the sun(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)Change comes for the betterIf you want itOur change will comeEatin' that burgerPass the kitchen condimentsEatin' that murderDon't let a hot sauce hit the spotEatin' that tortureWon't you let your conscience warn you?Eye for that motherYou can't see suffer
