When the War Comes | Tilla Sonrise
When the bullets start singing
where will you be,
humming tunes
in your canopy under your
juniper tree,
when the buildings go a blazing
like blunts and bongs
will you still be singing those freedom songs?
The war is coming
revolution is on the rise
it’s them against us
and us against them
you better open your eyes.
The war is coming
revolution is on the rise
it’s them against us
and us against them
you better open your eyes.
When they drive tanks
through your neighborhood
and trample your
hopscotch chalk
are you gonna bust back
or are you full of talk,
when they bomb your homes and
murder your babies
what are you gonna do
when they
take your bags lady?
The war is coming
revolution is on the rise
it’s them against us
and us against them
you better open your eyes.
The war is coming
revolution is on the rise
it’s them against us
and us against them
you better open your eyes.
When the law
breaks the law
they are under themselves
freeze mister officer
this is a citizen arrest
we’ve been watching your
police state test
you’ve been planning martial law
since 1999
this land isn’t your land
this land is mine.
The war is coming
revolution is on the rise
it’s them against us
and us against them
you better open your eyes.
The war is coming
revolution is on the rise
it’s them against us
and us against them
you better open your eyes.
