Rise up!

Rise up, Americans!

Too long have you delayed!

While imperial-minded presidents

Their cruel wars they have made.

The hard-earned coin for which you toil Is spent on wars on foreign soil,  

The liberties you enjoyed of late

Are clubbed to death by the police state.

Rise up! Rise up, Americans!

Adopt the non-violent creed!

MLK showed us the way

Love is all we need.
