WHEN THE FOOLS GET TIRED Celebrating end of idiotic Donald Trump era! 25 oct 26 Verse 1 Well, the fools got tired of fooling, And the wicked lost their way, The liars ran out of stories, And the hypocrites had nothing left to say. The kings were counting shadows, The generals were counting dead, While somewhere down the boulevard A new idea raised its head. Chorus Oh, the Black International is falling, Can't you hear that distant sound? All the walls they built are crumbling, All the lost are turning round. And the people who were sleeping Are beginning to believe, That the world belongs to no one Who has nothing up his sleeve. Verse 2 Well, the merchants sold us heaven, And the preachers sold us hell, The politicians sold tomorrow For a story they could sell. They put a price upon our freedom, Put a fence around the sun, But you can't keep people prisoners When they've finally become like one. Chorus Oh, the Black International is falling, Can't you hear that distant sound? All the walls they built are crumbling, All the lost are turning round. And the people who were sleeping Are beginning to believe, That the world belongs to no one Who has nothing to achieve. Verse 3 I saw a student in the morning, With a book beneath his arm, He had no flag, he had no master, He had no reason to cause harm. He said, "Mister, I've been thinking, And I think it's time we knew, That the future isn't something That belongs to just a few." Bridge So let the old men keep their medals, Let the bankers count their gold, Let the television prophets Sell the same old lies they've sold. There's a wind across the cities, There's a whisper in the streets, And the sound of chains unfastening Is the rhythm of our feet. Final chorus Oh, the Black International is falling, And the morning's breaking through, There are millions who remember What the world was meant to do. When the fools get tired of fooling, When the wicked lose their throne, Hope comes walking down the highway, And nobody walks alone.
