Flag Anti Vieques Puerto Rico Bikini Revisited lyrics

all united, all as one, let`s make a stand
we`ve got a privilege in the power that we command
so let`snot drown in ignorance and let our strenght waste away
as the richest nation in the world, we`ve got a responsibility.

vieques, puerto rico, a protectorate -- of the U.S.A.
part a home to native families, the rest... a navy bombing range!
shells misfired kill civilians there, and napalm hangs in the island air
but the government beats down protests against this misuse.

chorus:
so... stand up! fight back! resist-refuse!
`cause if we don`t do it, no one`s going to
sp... stand up! fight back! resist-refuse!
`cause if we don`t do it, no one`s going to

i look into the eyes, of a dead island boy`s face
his (eyes) remind me of another`s, from different time and place
where a-bombs baked the ground, on bikini`s tropical lands
where a culture was erased, families misplaced, by a nazi-esque like plan!

chorus:
all done, in your name, by uncle Sam
so if we don`t fight it - then we`re guilty too!
so... stand up! fight back! resist-refuse!
`cause if we don`t do it, no one`s going to

i think it`s `bout time that we had a change
i think it`s `bout time that we make a change
