Rise up! Rise up, Americans!
Too long have you delayed!
While imperial-minded presidents
Their cruel wars have made.
The hard-earned coin for which you toil
Is spent on wars on foreign soil,
The liberties you enjoyed of late
Are clubbed to death in the police state.
Rise up! Rise up, Americans!
Adopt the non-violent creed
MLK showed us the way
Love is all we need.
