Already There!

what you gonna do
when they take away your house?
what you gonna do
when they take your job?
what you gonna do
when they take away your healthcare?
what you gonna do
when they take away your children's education?

what you gonna do
when they take away your rights?
what you gonna do
when they take away your freedoms?
what you gonna do
when they take away your thoughts?
what you gonna do
when they take away your hope?

you want to know, to understand,
why people are protesting in America...
because we're already there!
