lyrics

It took a cup of coffee to take the morning news.
There's nothing you can say to me to take away these blues.
The TV's trying to tell me that the President's on my side.
But I can see the things he's done and I can see they lied.

Maybe you can say I'm not the only one
But first convince me that they didn't steal the sun.

I watch my hands grow weaker from making daily bread
To feed a rich man's family while starving mine instead.
And I elected a President who promised me a break
But he don't give me anything because he's on the take.

Maybe you can say I'm not the only one
But first convince me that they didn't steal the sun.

I know it's always been this way but that don't make it right.
And it's a little worse today because it's always night.
But when the revolution shuts down every power grid
We'll notice just how dark it's been and where the sun's been hid

Maybe you can say I'm not the only one
But first convince me that they didn't steal the sun.
