Lyrics

I, I, I, I, I cry I cry I was born in a land I don't think you understand God damn What i am I'm a native of this place Please don't kick me in my face My race Has been disgraced Won't somebody testify Kick a hole right in the sky Testify testify kick a hole right in the sky Slap a liar in his eye Kick a hole right in the sky Testify testify kick a hole right in the sky Johnny Johnny johnny I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I wonder why Why Puts us in a pumpkin shell Where you keep us very well It's hell Where I dwell When history books are full of shit I become the anarchist I'm pissed at this What this country claims to be It's a lie No place for me I bleed Won't somebody testify Kick a hole right in the sky Testify testify kick a hole right in the sky Slap a liar in his eye Kick a hole right in the sky Testify testify kick a hole right in the sky Johnny Johnny johnny I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I decide To defy Kill my trust if you must But in my blood there is the lust For life That's right Apache blood is in my heart Thrashing though me like a shark Crashing though the dark Won't somebody testify Kick a hole right in the sky Testify testify kick a hole right in the sky Slap a liar in his eye Kick a hole right in the sky Testify testify kick a hole right in the sky Johnny Johnny johnny What am I supposed to do I feel like I'm cut in two Confused by rules Do these cultures clash or am I living in the past I ask Please tell me fast Won't somebody testify Kick a hole right in the sky Testify testify kick a hole right in the sky Slap a liar in his eye Kick a hole right in the sky Testify testify kick a hole right in the sky Johnny Johnny johnny To what do I belong and if I change will i be wrong I took my foot and kicked A hole in the sky I proceeded to plead Fathers help me decide A jagged flash of light struck me in the eye I turned around and found that I was still alive Snakes rise high from the purple black sky The red cloud rains and the black horse rides Then it dawned on my like the mornin sun I'm a part of two worlds and the mornin comes Glowing embers tend to remember when The power that is peace was treated as a friend I am a master of and I've got to take action I'm a man The animal man
