NEVER
Featuring Wendy Gaillard

Tweedy Oop
I lay my roots in your Babylon waters
I hide my soul from your guns and mortars
You shield my thoughts from your sons and daughters
While your bullets rain down from enemy quarters
I speak through music to pierce the silence
I tell my story of mitigated violence
Toward you and your macabre effigies
History will mark the grave of a musical refugee
The more things change the more they stay the same
Children are dying while you're chasing fame
Them politicians and their rhetorical fiction
Antonyms and syllables disguising dereliction
To expose you will be my mission

CHORUS
Will never die for you or follow you
No no will not draw blood for you
You ain't no good
Will never lie for you or try to hard for you
No no
Will never vote for you with your point of view
Won't recruit for you won't propagate for you
No no
Won't sell my soul to you and your cahoots
Your enemies did no harm to me
They only say to thee please let them be free

I see the signs of a world gone wild
Who will protect a defenseless child
Don't add my name to your silly games
The way you play with lives is a crying shame
Will never give up my rights
No no without a fight
You will find me at your door knocking
In the middle of the night
Your jail cannot incarcerate my brain
Oh no no
While you refrain from strain on your gravy train
There's nothing to gain by puttin' me in chains

CHORUS
RAP
Now you can come with your guns
You can send my peoples on the run
You can drop them food by the ton
But remember everyone ain't dumb
You buy your way around the world
While you're killing young boys and girls
Don't you know that the truth will be learned
Your cities will eventually burn
The truth will unfurl
Petrol bombs will be hurled
