We Will Overcome Lyrics

Cover art for We Will Overcome lyrics by Thursday

These lyrics are almost all wrong, it should be:

We walk away till the end of night, It's suicide, but we will overcome! Another life swinging in the breeze, The southern trees and the strangest root/route

Follow the path of the straight and narrow, Hand in hand, Our roads are paved with broken arrows, We will overcome We will overcome

Our father's plan, arms in foreign soil, Our brothers die and no one knows where it ends, (------ between the crosshairs) Our lives weave a thousand deaths around us!

Follow the path of the straight and narrow, Hand in hand, Our roads are paved with broken arrows, We will overcome We will overcome

Follow the path of the straight and narrow, Hand in hand, Our roads are paved with broken arrows, We will overcome We will overcome We will overcome if no one sleeps tonight

We will overcome We will overcome We will overcome if no one sleeps tonight

We will run for years, We waited too long to see the promised land, We can win the war, We were standing in the promised land.

We will overcome Overcome

Um, I have the cd booklet and it confirms the original post. I know that when you read them they don't look totally right because when Thursday sings them they don't pronounce the entire word or they say it fast or in whispers and/or screams but those really are the lyrics.
