The name of this tune is Mississippi Goddam

And I mean every word of it

Alabama's gotten me so upset

Tennessee made me lose my rest

And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

Alabama's gotten me so upset

Tennessee made me lose my rest

And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

Can't you see it

Can't you feel it

It's all in the air

I can't stand the pressure much longer

Somebody say a prayer

Alabama's gotten me so upset

Tennessee made me lose my rest

And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

This is a show tune

But the show hasn't been written for it, yet

Hound dogs on my trail

School children sitting in jail

Black cat cross my path

I think every day's gonna be my last

Lord have mercy on this land of mine

We all gonna get it in due time

I don't belong here

I don't belong there

I've even stopped believing in prayer

Don't tell me

I tell you

Me and my people just about due

I've been there so I know

They keep on saying "Go slow!"

But that's just the trouble

"do it slow"

Washing the windows

"do it slow"

Picking the cotton

"do it slow"

You're just plain rotten

"do it slow"

You're too damn lazy

"do it slow"

The thinking's crazy

"do it slow"

Where am I going

What am I doing

I don't know

I don't know

Just try to do your very best

Stand up be counted with all the rest

For everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

I made you thought I was kiddin'

Picket lines

School boy cots

They try to say it's a communist plot

All I want is equality

for my sister my brother my people and me

Yes you lied to me all these years

You told me to wash and clean my ears

And talk real fine just like a lady

And you'd stop calling me Sister Sadie

Oh but this whole country is full of lies

You're all gonna die and die like flies

I don't trust you any more

You keep on saying "Go slow!"

"Go slow!"

But that's just the trouble

"do it slow"

Desegregation

"do it slow"

Mass participation

"do it slow"

Reunification

"do it slow"

Do things gradually

"do it slow"

But bring more tragedy

"do it slow"

Why don't you see it

Why don't you feel it

I don't know

I don't know

You don't have to live next to me

Just give me my equality

Everybody knows about Mississippi

Everybody knows about Alabama

Everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam

That's it!

Sorry I keep posting grandson songs but he’s just so damn good

I listen to this album whenever I get real fucking mad

Keeps me sane when I have to deal with AI or see a Waymo or some shit

So to all who Occupy

And feel the spirit of Shock-u-py

Thank you

We won't go away

We can't all be here all the time

'Cause the change we want will take a long time

So tag-team like wrestling, recharge

Flush the burn-out, come back strong

Lock-gluing, sit-ins

Boycotts, die-ins

Defend foreclosed homes, occupy elections

Are one more way

A prank a day keeps the dog leash away!

We’re turning their wheels
They don’t care if we’re stressed
With no time to think
We’re all left depressed

They need us too scared to stand up and strike
They need us compliant not looking for rights
There’s more of us, we need to rise up
There’s more of us, we need to stand up

If we get together a worker lead movement
We don’t need statistics
Or their management

They need us too scared to stand up and strike
They need us compliant not looking for rights
There’s more of us, we need to rise up
There’s more of us, we need to stand up
We need to stand up and fight

English Lyrics: https://genius.com/Genius-english-translations-danger-dan-keine-angst-english-translation-lyrics

Very Rachmaninoff.

We live in a world of double standards,
One law for them and one law for we,
They say what is legal and what is a crime,
They say what is war and what is terrorism,
They say what they want to say to justify their own actions,
Who are the terrorists and who are the heros?

Who are the terrorists?
Who are the heros?
Double standards.

Now when Adolf Hitler tried to conquer the world with his evil regime,
Anybody who fought against him was classed as a hero,
They fought fire with fire,
But for many many years there's been a regime every bit as evil as that of Adolf Hitler,
But if you fight against the apartheid system in South Africa, you are a terrorist.

Who are the terrorists?
Who are the heros?
Double standards.

Imagine if aliens from outer space came to conquer the human race,
Came to control all the world's wealth and take the best part of the world for themself.
Suppose they say "Fear not peoples of Earth, we are here to help you. Give us everything of any worth and we will not harm you. You have gold mines, or should I say used to have, now they're mine. But you can work in the golden grime for a 80 hour week, we'll give you about... £2 a time. Oh yes, another thing, you must all carry a pass, just so none of you get lost. Certain boundaries you must not cross or our police will bust you aaarrrsseee."

Sound familiar?
People of the World will fight for their liberty, even if it took centuries,
And when the oppressor was forced to go, the people who fought against them would be classed as heros, and quite rightly so.
So why oh why oh why oh why are the people who fight against the oppressors in South Africa classed as terrorists?
To me, they are heros.

Who are the terrorists?
Who are the heros?
Come tell me.
Double standards

Fighting in Namibia,
The media says this is a clash between South African troops and SWAPO guerillas,
Troops against guerillas.
I would say it is a clash between a South African terrorists and SWAPO freedom fighters,
Yeahh, sounds more like it true.
Botha and his henchmen called the ANC terrorists,
That's worse than the pot calling the kettle black,
The apartheid system is an act of terrorism itself,
It is evil, evil, evil, evil, evil, evil, evil, evil, evil.
Killing of the children in Soweto was an act of terrorism,
Locking Mandela in a prison so long is an act of terrorism,
Indefinite detention is an act of terrorism,
Invasion of people's homeland is an act of terrorism,
So tell me, who are the terrorists?
Who are the heros?
Who are the terrorists?
Who are the heros?
Who are the terrorists?
Who are the heros?
Who are the terrorists?
I know. Do you?

This play is about the US suffragist movement from 1913 to 1920. In this song, Alice Paul (Protagonist) is convincing Inez Milholland to go on a national tour of the country to get Woodrow Wilson voted out of office because of his delay, deny, deflect tactics towards the women fighting for the vote.

As an organizer myself, this song resonates deeply. I've had this conversation with myself several times.

Oh, rent a flat above a shop

And cut your hair and get a job

And smoke some fags and play some pool

Pretend you never went to school

But still you'll never get it right

'Cause when you're laid in bed at night

Watching roaches climb the wall

If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah
