when the culture's drowning in a bad dream
save myself, save myself and
when the old religion is the new greed
save myself, save myself and
they sabotaged the levee, killed gris gris
save myself, save myself and
when the vultures copyright the word free
save myself, save myself and
baby won't you come
baby won't you come
baby won't you come
when the elders all are playing make believe; save...
when they teach us lessons that they don't believe; save...
when they build up statues but neglect their seeds; save...
when my love and my hammers all i really need; save...
baby won't you come....
slow and steady
slow and steady
slow and steady
slow and steady...
when i live in a country without history; save...
one that buried its roots with its identity; save...
we still are searching for liberty; save...
we still are hiding from reality; save...
baby won't you come...
