Cain Is Rising

Hey, Mr. Politician
 You say that it is time to fight this holy war
 But I don't need no television
 To see one is raging out my back door
 When I saw those towers tumble
 You know I got down on my knees and prayed
 But when you're living this jungle
 You see sons and daughters dying every day
 Cain is rising on that horizon
 Cain is rising on that horizon
 You know the men they took my husband
 And left him bleeding in a cold, stone cell
 And from a fifteen story window
 My little sister's baby daughter fell
 And then you have the nerve to tell me
 Just how and when my tears should fall
 Hey mister, it's a wonder
 It's a wonder, I can shed them, tears at all
 Cain is rising on that horizon
 Cain is rising on that horizon
 They say this land has got its freedom
 Say this land has got its liberty
 But for the few to have their kingdom
 All the rest must live in poverty
 Some say we had it coming
 Say its chickens coming home to roost
 And though I don't believe in fighting
 I know some people just got nothing left to lose
 Cain is rising on that horizon
 Cain is rising on that horizon
