Lyrics

"Don't Forget About Mister Brown"

Oh oh oh Mister brown the police come and they shoot you down
Riots on the street, you've got tear gas in the air
If you wanna start a revolution, you'd better get up out of your chair
And move to the music while you're still above ground
Move to the music let me see you get down
Turn to your brother and lend him your hand
'Cause arm in arm we got to take a stand
And don't forget about Michael Brown
How the police come and they shoot him down

Oh oh oh Mister brown the police come and they shoot you down
Riots on the street, you've got clouds of tear gas
If you wanna start a revolution, you'd better get up off of your ass
Keep your eyes on the prize and your hands to the skies
Don't let them fill your head full of bullets and lies
One single life is too great of a cost
And if you've forgot that then we're already lost

So don't forget about Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin and Stand Your Ground
Big Eric Garner in the NYC lies in his grave while his killers walk free
So don't forget about Freddy Grey, how he never come back after they took him away
Tamar Rice and Sandra Bland, how many lives will it take until we understand?
