"Now everybody's looking for a little peace of mind we're a generation running out of time there's a bomb, there's a man there's a gun in his hand yeah nobody smiles at strangers we're scared from birth afraid the man's gonna take us for all that we're worth strip us of our pride make a strike from inside come on and tell me how long will we be victims of fear with a man and a gun and the "day after" fear jesus smile down upon your children smile down upon your family

even lovers have trouble at hand what's your preference where do you stand you get all uptight about it wanna fight about it wanna fight about love no no no wanting independence separate but equal a lover here another there one more for the sequel to the heartache how much more can we take won't you tell me how long will we be victims of fear with a man and a gun and the "day after" fear jesus smile down upon your children smile down upon your family

now i'm talking about altruism and unification we forgotten what that means
cynicism in this mighty nation and hatred is splitting us right at the seams

oh but i still believe that good will prevail and if we don't ever try it's damn sure that we'll fail lose another day the american way so come all believers come all races start looking at the souls not at the faces and we're there and we're learning to care I want to know baby how long will we be victims of fear with a man and a gun and the "day after" fear jesus smile down upon your children smile down upon your family jesus smile down upon your children

"Be Storng, Speak True and Speard the Peace" - Melissa Etheridge-

"Come gather round people wherever you roam, and admit that the waters around you have grown and accept it that soon youll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you is worth saving then youd better start swimmin or youll sink like a stone; For the times they are a changin

Come writers and critics who prophesy with your pen,
and keep your eyes wide, the chance wont come again.
And dont speak too soon, for the wheels still in spin
and theres no tellin who that its naming, for the loser now will be later to win; For the times they are a changin.

Come senators and congressmen, please heed the call.
Dont stand in the doorway, dont block up the hall, for he who gets hurt will be he who has stalled. Theres a battle outside and its raging; itll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls; for the times they are a changin.

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land and dont criticize what you cant understand. Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command, your old road is rapidly aging please get out of the new one if you cant lend a hand; for the times they are a changin.

The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast. The slow one now will later be fast as the present now will later be past the order is rapidly fadin. The first one now will later be last; for the times they are a changin'." - Bob Dylan "The Times They Are A Changin'"-
