Title: Tell Somebody (Repeal The Patriot Acts Now)

Not long ago it was alright

There were no bad dreams that kept me up at night

It was not brother against brother

Mother against mother

So tell somebody,

You've got to tell somebody

Tell somebody what happened in the usa

Now they want us to just get in line

Behind a president

When you know they spent milions of dollars

Condemning and accusing

The last one from the other side

Tell somebody, tell somebody

Tell somebody

What's happening in the usa?

Tell somebody, tell somebody

Tell somebody

What happened in the usa

Tell somebody, tell somebody, tell somebody...

I want to know how far you will go

To protect our right of free speech?

Because it only took a moment

Before it faded out of reach...

Oh, tell somebody, tell sombody right now

Tell somebody

What happened in the usa?

I wanna read about it in the news

I wanna hear about it on tv, yeah

What happened in the usa?

When they ask you

What happened in the usa?

Tell sombody.

They'll wanna know, oh people

The depth of our democracy

Is only as good as the voices of protest she protects

Voices of protest - rise!
