Don't take that Attitude to your Grave.

This track is on the album " Welcome to the cruel world". I offer you only the riff for the moment with an image.

Ben Harper : " As a priority, people must be made sensitive to the problem of the weapons. Americans are terrible hypocrites : they pass their time to complain about the violence, but all of them have a weapon in their drawer... Uzi aren't manufactured inLos Angeles, in the warehouses of South Central. They are imported, go through the frontiers. There are guys in the offices, whose job is to do this business. If only this guys start to change their job, if only polticians take on this scandalous commerce and so the street can find again the quiet of yesteryear. Black babies don't born with Uzi in the hands."

Lyrics :

You say what's mine is mine
And what's yours is mine too
Now you've got more than you can spend
But all of the money
In the whole wide world
Is not gonna help you in the end
Now while there's still time to be saved
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for you I'm afraid
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Don't you take it there

I hear helicopters
Over my house every day
Shining their lights and flying low
Treat a child like a criminal
From the day that he is born
And you're gonna reap just what you sow
Now while there's still time to be saved
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for you I'm afraid
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Don't you take it there

 

So you can move your court case
Way accross town
You can move it accross the whole wide globe
But it ain't gonna help your courrt case
Up in the sky
When you go to put on your white robe
Now while there's still time to be saved
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for you I'm afraid
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Don't you take it there

 

And you dare the children
To stay off of drugs
Now I dare you to stop letting them in
And how dare you point your finger
At a gang out on the street
While it's you who is committing the sin
Now while there's still time to be saved
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for you I'm afraid
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Don't you take it there
They don't don't want it there
You know your mother taught you better
Don't take that attitude to your grave
