Confrontation Lyrics
LyricsSuggest a correction ↗
Say have you heard the news
Riots, looting and shootings
On the tube
As clouds of smoke
Rise up into the air
Sez it looks like trouble
So you better beware
Theres gonna be a confrontation
A civilian uprising
In the united nation
A youth named robinson
Been shot and killed by the police
And now the politicians
only talk of justice and peace
But I and i
Don't want no talk of peace
We want is action
Justice and equality
Cause every day I and I
pay the price
Its blood sweat and tears
And you know the price is high
Violence and police brutality
Fill the city
There is too much
Social and economic inequity
The rich man digs his wealth
From the ghettos
While the poor man
Only puts his trust in vanity
Thats how it is
And thats where its at
Seems the only solution
Is a revolution
We got problems to solve
Involving us all
And we have to build
A brighter future
What I and I need
Is love and unity
You got to liberate your mind
Be the most that you can be
We don't need no
Hatred and rejection
The false teachings
Of society
Theres gonna be a confrontation
A civilian uprising
In the united nation
The neighborhood is burning
And the world keeps on turning
Say you can watch it
On T.V.
Can you believe it oh wow
Say have you heard the news
Riots, looting and shootings
On the tube
As clouds of smoke
Rise up into the air
Sez it looks like trouble
So you better beware
A confrontation
In the united nation
A confrontation
In the united nation
