OriginaleLa versione originale scritta dal reverendo Frederick Douglass...
EVERYBODY'S GOT A RIGHT TO LIVEEVERYBODY'S GOT A RIGHT TO LIVE
We are down in Washington
Fighting against an age-old sin
Nothing but mass murder
Done by age-old men.
Everybody's got a right to live
Everybody's got a right to live
And before this campaign fails
We'll all go down to jail
Everybody's got a right to live.
Everybody's got a right to live
Everybody's got a right to live
And before this campaign fails
We'll all go down to jail
Everybody's got a right to live.
On my way to Washington
Feelin’ awful sad
Thinkin’ about an income
That I never had
Can't you hear the women and children
Over in My Lai
Screaming, "Lieutenant William Calley
Why do we have to die?"
Everybody's got a right to live
Everybody's got a right to live
And before this campaign fails
We'll all go down to jail
Everybody's got a right to live.
Everybody's got a right to live
Everybody's got a right to live
And before this campaign fails
We'll all go down to jail
Everybody's got a right to live.
Black man picked the cotton
A long time ago
He has been a victim
Since they brought him to this shore
Our brothers and our sisters
Are demanding that we share
Soil, rocks, minerals,
The ocean and the air.
Black man dug the pipeline
Hewed down the pines
Gave his troubles to Jesus
Kept on toeing the line
Everybody's got a right to live
Everybody's got a right to live
And before this campaign fails
We'll all go down to jail
Everybody's got a right to live.
Everybody's got a right to live
Everybody's got a right to live
And before this campaign fails
We'll all go down to jail
Everybody's got a right to live.
No more some be rich
While others dirt poor
All around this world
We say "Poverty No More!"
Black man dug the ditches
Both night and day
Black man did the work
While the white man got the pay
Everybody's got a right to live
Everybody's got a right to live
And before this campaign fails
We'll all go down to jail
Everybody's got a right to live.
Now look a-here, Congress
This is a brand new day
No more full-time work
And part-time pay
Here we are in Washington
Full of hope and pain
To see if some folks gonna listen
Or will they pluck their ears again.
Everybody's got a right to live
Everybody's got a right to live
And before this campaign fails
We'll all go down to jail
Everybody's got a right to live.
Everybody's got a right to live
Everybody's got a right to live
And before this campaign fails
We'll all go down to jail
Everybody's got a right to live.
I want my share of silver
I want my share of gold
I want my share of justice
To save my dying soul
We haven't got much time left
The sands are running out
"Peace, Justice, Freedom
You can hear the whole world shout!"
Everybody's got a right to live
Everybody's got a right to live
And before this campaign fails
We'll all go down to jail
Everybody's got a right to live.
