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!)
