In a bar somewhere in Nowhereville the drinking dead debate On what went wrong with all mankind and the trouble it must face Einstein shares his thoughts on the wars that lie ahead If you wanna change the living, you have to listen to the dead JFK and Lincoln at a table dealing stud Talk about the grassy knoll and spilling brother's blood It don't matter if your politics are blue or if they're red If you wanna change the living, you have to listen to the dead If you wanna change the living, you have to listen to the dead Dr. Martin Luther King and Ghandi both agree Equality of man just ain't as far as it should be Color blindness is the only place for us to head If you wanna change the living, you have to listen to the dead Teresa of Calcutta with a wine glass in her hand Quotes the holy book on the tyranny of man The road to absolution has some obstacles ahead If you wanna change the living, you have to listen to the dead If you wanna change the living, you have to listen to the dead Strumming his guitar Woody Guthrie sings aloud 'Bout fascist pigs and Nazi snakes and the evil-doing crowd Don't buy the lies they're selling, don't let them in your head If you wanna change the living, you have to listen to the dead Orwell raises up his glass, a toast is long past due The future he predicted has eventually come true The knowledge in those books is power ready to be read If you wanna change the living, you have to listen to the dead If you wanna change the living, you have to listen to the dead Lest we forget the words spoken in another time By men and women brave enough to say what's on their mind The right to share your thoughts is a freedom that some dread If you wanna change the living, you have to listen to the dead If you wanna change the living, you have to listen to the dead If you wanna change the living, you have to listen to the dead
