Redemption Songs

Crossposted from Agent Orange … those who can still rec over there, feel free.

We forward in this generation

Triumphantly.

Wont you help to sing

These songs of freedom? –

cause all I ever have:

Redemption songs;

Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;

None but ourselves can free our minds.

Have no fear for atomic energy,

cause none of them can stop the time.

Roughneck and rudeness,

We should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms

For the sword and the stone

Bad to the bone

Battle is not over

Even when it’s won

And when a child is born into this world

It has no concept

Of the tone the skin is living in

…

Je veux les deux mains ouvertes,

Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie

Pour qu’ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas

Changer

And you don’t seem to understand

A shame you seemed an honest man

And all the fears you hold so dear

Will turn to whisper in your ear

And you know what they say might hurt you

And you know that it means so much

And you don’t even feel a thing
