Paroles de la chanson Word Game par Stephen Stills
Would you knock a man down if you don't like the cut of his clothes ?
Could you put a man away if you don't want to hear what he knows ?
Well, it's happening right here, people dying of fear by the droves.
And I know most of you
Either don't believe it's true
Or else you don't know what to do.
Or maybe I'm singing about you,
Who knows ?
It's incredibly sick,
You can feel it as across the land it flows.
Prejudice is slick
Could you put a man away if you don't want to hear what he knows ?
Well, it's happening right here, people dying of fear by the droves.
And I know most of you
Either don't believe it's true
Or else you don't know what to do.
Or maybe I'm singing about you,
Who knows ?
It's incredibly sick,
You can feel it as across the land it flows.
Prejudice is slick
When it's a word game it festers and grows
Move along quick,
It furthers one to have somewhere to go
You can feel it as it's rumblin'
Let emotions keep a tumblin'
Then as cities start to crumblin'
Mostly empty bellies grumblin'
Here we go !
People see somebody different, fear is the first reaction shown
Then they think they've got him linked, the barbaric hunt begins, and they move in slow
A human spirit is devoured, the remains left to carrion crow.
I was told that life is change
Move along quick,
It furthers one to have somewhere to go
You can feel it as it's rumblin'
Let emotions keep a tumblin'
Then as cities start to crumblin'
Mostly empty bellies grumblin'
Here we go !
People see somebody different, fear is the first reaction shown
Then they think they've got him linked, the barbaric hunt begins, and they move in slow
A human spirit is devoured, the remains left to carrion crow.
I was told that life is change
And yet history remains
Does it always stay the same ?
Do we shrug it off and say
Only God knows ?
By and by somebody usually goes down to the ghetto
Try and help, but they don't know why folks treat them cold
And the rich keep getting richer, and the rest of us just keep getting old
You see, one must have a mission
In order to be a good christian.
If you don't, you will be missing
High mass or the evening show.
And the well fed masters reap the harvests of the polluted seeds they've sown
Does it always stay the same ?

High mass or the evening show.
And the well fed masters reap the harvests of the polluted seeds they've sown
Smug and self-righteous, they bitch about people they owe
And you can't prove them wrong, they're so God damn sure they know
I have seen these things with my very own eyes
And defended my battered soul, it must be too tough to die
American propaganda, South African lies
Will not force me to take up arms, that's my enemie s' pride
And I won't fight by his rules, that's foolishness besides
His ignorance is gonna do him in, and nobody's gonna cry
Because his children, they are growing up
With bigots, and their silver cups they're fed up
They might throw up on you
And you can't prove them wrong, they're so God damn sure they know
I have seen these things with my very own eyes
And defended my battered soul, it must be too tough to die

Will not force me to take up arms, that's my enemie s' pride
And I won't fight by his rules, that's foolishness besides
His ignorance is gonna do him in, and nobody's gonna cry
Because his children, they are growing up
With bigots, and their silver cups they're fed up
They might throw up on you
Alright.
