Letra

He's coming, he's coming, he's coming
He's coming, he's coming, he's coming
He's coming, he's coming, he's coming
He's here!
His name is Jesse
His name is Jesse
Hypocrites and Uncle Toms are talking trash
(Let's talk about Jesse!)
Liberty and justice are a thing of the past
(Let's talk about Jesse!)
They want a stronger nation at any cost
(Let's talk about Jesse!)
Even if it means that everything will soon be lost
(Let's talk about Jesse!)
He started from the bottom, now he's on the top
He proved that he can make it, so don't ever stop
Brothers stand together and let the whole world see
Our brother Jesse Jackson goes down in history
So vote!
Vote! Vote! Everybody get up and vote!
Vote! Vote! Everybody get up and vote!
Vote! Vote! Everybody get up and vote!
Vote! Vote! Everybody get up and vote!
See Ronald Reagan speakin' on TV
Smilin' like everything's fine and dandy
Sounded real good when he tried to give a pep talk
To over thirty billion poor people like me
How can he say that we gotta stick it out
When his belly is full and his future is sunny?
I don't need his jive advice
But I sure do need his jive-time money
The dream is a nightmare in disguise
(Let's talk about Jesse!)
Red tape and lies fill your spacious skies
(Let's talk about Jesse!)
But don't think that DC just did it first
(Let's talk about Jesse!)
There's a lot of DCs all over this universe
(His name is Jesse!)
He started from the bottom, now he's on the top
He proved that he can make it, so don't ever stop
Brothers stand together and let the whole world see
Our brother Jesse Jackson goes down in history
So vote!
Vote! Vote! Everybody get up and vote!
Vote! Vote! Everybody get up and vote!
Vote! Vote! Everybody get up and vote!
Vote! Vote! Everybody get up and vote!
The land of the free is the home of the brave
But it might as well be the home of the slave
They got me walkin' around, singin' freedom's come
But my body is free and my mind is dumb
The people ain't black but the house is white
And just because I'm different they don't treat me right
They done cast me aside, held me down
Dragged my name down to the ground
Oh beautiful for spacious skies
And your amber waves of untold lies
Look at all the politicians tryin' to do a job
But they can't help but look like the mob
Get a big kickback, put it away
Watch the FBI, watch the CIA
They want a bigger missile and a faster jet
But yet they forget to hire the vet
Hypocrites just talkin' trash
(Let's talk about Jesse!)
Liberty and justice are a thing of the past
(Let's talk about Jesse!)
They want a stronger nation at any cost
(Let's talk about Jesse!)
Even if it means that everything will soon be lost
(His name is Jesse!)
Break it down!
Vote! Vote! Everybody get out and vote!
Vote! Vote! Everybody get out and vote!
Vote! Vote! Everybody get out and vote!
Vote! Vote! Everybody get out and vote!
The 30th day that's in December
Is the day that everybody's gonna remember
'Cause on that day a righteous man
Thought about taking a brand new stand
The name of the man is Jesse Jackson
And his call for peace was louder than action
'Cause now's the time to change the nation
But not with just another negotiation
He went to the East for a human's rights
To free a lieutenant shot down in flight
That's another statistic and the government knew it
They didn't even want the man to go do it
Before he left he called the president's home
And Reagan didn't even answer the phone
But I'll tell you one thing that's a natural fact
You can bet he called Jesse when Jesse got back
He started from the bottom, now he's on the top
He proved that he can make it, so don't ever stop
Brothers stand together and let the whole world see
Our brother Jesse Jackson goes down in history
So vote!
Hypocrites just talkin' trash
(Let's talk about Jesse!)
Liberty and justice are a thing of the past
(Let's talk about Jesse!)
