Unknown Reggae - Nellie McKay

作词：Nellie McKay

作曲：Nellie McKay

I met him at a protest

Dolled up in his finest finery

A Malcolm X t-shirt

And a tambourine

To love him it was hopeless

The cannons fell and shook the barricade

We came in at the corners

I can hear him say

Eatin' that burger

Pass the kitchen condiments

Eatin' that murder

Don't let a hot sauce hit the spot

Eatin' that torture

Don't you let your conscience harm you

Eye for that mother

Who can't see you suffer

And one for all and all for another

(Pourin' rain pourin' rain)

A long October under the sun

(Pourin' rain pourin' rain)

Change comes for the better

(If you want it)

Our change will come

Hey you

Eatin' that burger

All you all Americans

Eatin' that murder

Give the chef my compliments

Eatin' that torture

Yeah you show such understandin'

Eye for that mother

Can't see you suffer

And one for all and all for another

(Pourin' rain pourin' rain)

A long October under the sun

(Pourin' rain pourin' rain)

Change comes for the better

If you want it

Our change will come

Eatin' that burger

Pass the kitchen condiments

Eatin' that murder

Don't let a hot sauce hit the spot

Eatin' that torture

Won't you let your conscience warn you

Eye for that mother

You can't see suffer
