Violent Time

Down in the south
In the land of black
Where justice turned to dust
A minority rules with terror
And blood to conceal their own lies

[bridge]
Children of god
Fight for their human rights
Warriors of pain
Fight again, again and again

You are the one whose heart is steel
Who doesn't feel
It isn't hard to say it loud
So start the fight and scream it out

[chorus]
Shout, shout it out
Shout it loud to the world
The pain you feel each day
Scream it out loud and proud
Just try to turn the wheel
In a violent time

I don't see a reason why
So many people have to die
Raise your hands against the masters
Don't care about their lies

[bridge]
Children of god
Fight for their human rights
Warriors of pain
Fighting again, again and again

Solo: Frank

They need freedom for the people
Freedom for their land
How long must we keep on fighting
Till white man understand

[chorus]
Shout, shout it out
Shout it loud to the world
The pain you feel each day
Scream it out loud and proud
Strike back and turn the wheel
In a violent time
