Lyrics

[Intro] We don't need no burning crosses Put out the fire of bigotry We don't need to count our losses When they bury you, they'll bury me [Verse 1] I have a dream that we can be united It will only work when fears are subsided By the sweat of my brow, I won't let it die Freedom for our hearts is my battle cry [Chorus] We're living in troubled times We're living in troubled times How could we be so blind We're living in troubled times [Verse 2] Poor man begging at rich man's feet He ears the crumbs off of the floor We are starving for something to eat We are whales upon the shore [Chorus] We're living in troubled times We're living in troubled times How could we be so blind We're living in troubled times [Bridge] There was a time we tore our country down For all the same reasons that we fight for now And if pride comes before a fall Then why tell me why we tore down the wall [Chorus] We're living in troubled times We're living in troubled times How could we be so blind We're living in troubled times
