Woman you've been crying
I see the tears in your eyes
Yes I saw it on the news
I saw it today
Lord, why must my people always live in pain?
Will there ever be justice?
Does anybody even care?
We want it right now.
We the people want justice
Right here right now
We the people want justice
So you say we are free
We the people want justice
Right here right now
We the people want justice
We want it today
Jonny was a good man
He didn't have to die
He died one cold and rainy night in the street
He must have died saying "Mother help me please"
"Mother help me please, I don't want to die"
Did you feel like God when you watched him die?
It is better to die than to be a slave
Abe be alive and not be free
We want it right now
We the people want justice
Right here right now
We the people want justice
So you say we are free
We the people want justice
Right here right now
We the people want justice
We want it today
