lyrics

This is for the Kurds who are dying for their land
For the kids in Hong Kong who are making their demands
For the nameless bodies that line the sea floor
And the genocide that sleeps at our front door

For Leonard Peltier and the millions of others
All the countless throngs that just have to suffer
The names racked up as collateral damage
All the people dying, caused by famine


This is the cost

For Malcolm, Martin, Garvey, and Huey
Rossa, Rehana, Emma, Ashanti
For those living under the fist of a king
For all the martyrs of the Arab spring

Black masked kids who are running through Oakland
Palestinians being pushed from their land
Crimes against humanity that gain no attention
And for all the names that'll never be mentioned


Find the cost of freedom buried in the ground
Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down
