Expect the Bayonet

From the sorrow we created
 A fragile state of blood and whim
 Made for rich men in their white skin
 People bolder than I
 Stood up to the lie
 That equality has left! My! My!
 But it leaves no doubt in my mind
 I've been reading the news and you'll surely regret
 If you don't give us the ballot, expect the bayonet!
 
 Well, expect the bayonet! Yeah! Yeah!
 Expect the bayonet!
 ♪
 Don't say I didn't warn ya
 Cos for every man high upon the hog
 There's a dogwood forest buried in the fog
 How naked is your eye?
 Do you ever wonder why
 You're being asked to recompense
 When it's the last sign of your defence?
 So you better resolve or you'll surely regret
 If you don't give us the ballot, expect the bayonet!
 
 Well, expect the bayonet! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
 When the name came down
 I covered my ears afraid of the sound
 But we got the power to take back our nights
 Give up our silence and give up our time alone...
 We're not on out own!
 Though violent minds hatch violent plans
 For many it's the only thing they understand
 When the dog whistle is ringing
 It's the currency that they deal in
 So before the world's been reduced to soot
 Solidarity for those underfoot
 And I better remind you or you'll surely regret
 If you don't give us the ballot, expect the bayonet!
 
 Oh well, expect the bayonet! Yeah! Yeah!
 Expect the bayonet!
 Oh well, expect the bayonet! Yeah! Yeah!
 Expect the bayonet!
 Oh well, expect the bayonet! Yeah! Yeah!
 Expect the bayonet!
