I'm gonna do what the spirits say do,
I'm gonna do what the spirits say do,
And if the spirits say do, I'm gonna do, oh, lord,
I'm gonna do what the spirits say do!
 
I'll go to jail if the spirits say go,
I'll go to jail if the spirits say go,
And if the spirits say go, I'm gonna go, oh, lord,
I'll go to jail if the spirits say go!
 
I'm gonna picket if the spirits say picket,
I'm gonna picket if the spirits say picket,
And if the spirits say picket, I'm gonna picket, oh, lord,
I'm gonna picket if the spirits say picket!
 
I'm gonna march if the spirits say march,
I'm gonna march if the spirits say march,
And if the spirits say march, I'm gonna march, oh, lord,
I'm gonna march if the spirits say march!
 
I'm gonna love if the spirits say love,
I'm gonna love if the spirits say love,
And if the spirits say love, I'm gonna love, oh, lord,
I'm gonna love if the spirits say love!
 
I'm gonna sing if the spirits say sing,
I'm gonna sing if the spirits say sing,
And if the spirits say sing, I'm gonna sing, oh, lord,
I'm gonna sing if the spirits say sing!
