lyrics

I can see the world around us, is changin’.
And movin’ toward a vital stage.
Some are cut off from this rearrangement.
Forced to keep it all the same.

We know the reason for this ongoing destructive phase
And why it continues to lead them into early graves
We are calling for a message from the nation.
Determined to remind you of this dire situation.

Hey! Won’t you please see them
Hey! Flags are wavin’
Hey! Need your assistance
Hey! Why can’t you hear the
Distress Call

Hey! Need information
Hey! Won’t you please tell them
Hey! Need liberation
Hey! Why can’t you hear the
Distress Call

Ooh lady liberty, I'm loving your dress
Old Glory skintight on your breasts
Plus it's upside-down
Loving the way your stars and stripes be all over me
Walk that walk. Strut your stuff.
You're such a nasty thing.

Give me a call when you need a fix.
I'll be there at the drop of a dime.
Give me a call when things ain't fitting how they're supposed to fit.
Once in my grip all that bullshit will soon be over with.
Strip you down and bend you over
But won't pass you to my homies
I get greedy when I'm lonely
Everybody say

Hey! Need information
Hey! Won’t you tell them
Hey! Need liberation
Hey! Why don’t you hear the
Distress Call
