Blood of the earth

 {the end} {the protest song} Jim Dixon 

 

Does Anybody Know What’s Going On

When the Blood Of The Earth Is Worth More Than Gold 

Watch the Sea Rise Up Wash It All Away 

It Ain't Worth The Price We Pay  

Is this the end or where we begin 

Is this the end or where we begin

 

There is a river ain't a river no more 

Gone like the reef out past the shore 

You need a sign 

A bigger fucking sign 

Don’t tell me get back in line 

Is this the end or where we begin 

Is this the end or where we begin 

 

In a self-fulfilling prophecy we can burn it down in our greed until the sun won’t look upon us 

This tiny little dot in space holds the record of the human race and all we have to do is love   

 

Lock an old man up

for smoking the weed 

Shoot black kid, go free 

Build a wall say this side is yours 

Because you took it from someone before 

You need a sign?

Read the sign 

Tell you get back in line

Is this the end or where we begin 

Is this the end or where we begin 

 

Made of bone and blood of earth who will stand and be the first when heaven looks down on us this tiny little dot in space the children of the human race all we have to do is love    

 

Is this the end or where we begin
