How Low And Why

How low and why

How low before we open our eyes

How low and why

How low before we can’t ask why

How low d’we go with slavery then

How low our aboriginal sin

How low against the Vietminh

How low before it ends

How low and why

How low our wanton luxury ride

How low and why

How low before we can’t ask why

How low d’we go with slavery then

How low our aboriginal sin

How low against the Vietminh

How low before it ends

So high we started for the times

So high the high for men who were white

So high these freedoms,and rights

So high so many held them up in awe and began the fight

Eyes on the prize

How low and why

How low so we can turn off the fight

How low and why

How low now that we can’t ask why

How low d’we go with slavery then

How low our aboriginal sin

How low against the Vietminh

How low before it ends

How low before it ends

For it ends ... for it ends
