I've got a brain
But it gives me pain to have this brain
What can I say?
It's such a shame you turned away
You've had the best of everything
And left us all to fry
But we won't be left behind
(What a shame)
It's not a question of time
(Time)
We can't afford to dream
(What a shame)
About the peaches and cream
(Cream)
We've seen the news
And we're not amused to beg for food
What can we do?
Your doors are closed as tight as you
You've had your share of everything
Your little hearts desire
You won't be left behind
(What a shame)
It's not a question of time
(Time)
I can't afford to dream
(What a shame)
About the peaches and cream.
(Cream)
Open --?
Send my brothers back to me
This time not in crowded boats
Give 'em back their dignity
"I have a dream" said Luther King
Then he was gone
What would he think?
Have we his love to keep us warm?
There's people fighting everywhere
Religion, --?
I won't be left behind
(What a shame)
It's not a question of time
