The Feast and the Famine Lyrics

That night they were burning for truth.
Down on the corner of 14th and U.
They took your soul and they took you for fools.
Took all the windows from prisons and schools.
Now what’s a poor man left to do?

One heart now broken in two.
You start untying the hands of the youth.
New kids hear the sound of the drumming.
Mother Nature your summer is coming.
Yesterday and today, revolution on it's way.

Amen, it was the feast and the famine.
Amen, it was the feast and the famine.
It was the feast and the famine.
Feast and the famine.

Crossroads with nothing to lose.
Out of the basement and into the news.
Come change, now shit getting heavy.
Salvation at the ready.
You looked when i walked by.
Still screaming ’til I die.

You can’t find peace if you can’t find a home.
You can’t survive as an island alone.
Black heart with a gaping wound.
Put back together by a troubled groove.
Check yourself, wreck your brains
Where is that P.M.A.?

Amen, it was the feast and the famine.
Amen, it was the feast and the famine.
It was the feast and the famine.
Feast and the famine.

Hey, where is the monument?
To the dreams we forget.
We need a monument.

And dreams will come.
And change will come.
Is there anybody there? (Anybody there?)
Anybody there? (Anybody there?)

Amen, it was the feast and the famine.
Amen, it was the feast and the famine.
It was the feast and the famine.
Feast and the famine.

Amen, where is the monument to the dreams we forget?
Amen, we need a monument.

And dreams will come
And change will come
Is there anybody there? (Anybody there?)
Anybody there? (Anybody there?)
