Who Speaks For Me Lyrics - Artist : Paxton, Tom
The army comes through
They curse us and trot us with guns Sometimes they take us away That's the end of that They go where they like in the house Their eyes miss nothing of value And may the Virgin go with you If you've a gun or a knife But who speaks for me I, who have no voice Who decides for me It seems I have no choice Do I live do I die Will my family survive Will the ones who lean down from the trucks with their guns Allow us our lives One question I'd ask if I dare Of the ones who we never see Guns and dollars are voices for you But who speaks for me Hmmmm-mmm We are never asked We are simply shown to the fields We give of our youth and our blood To the cotton and coffee For the guards in their long, white houses Raise the dust in their long black cars They regard us with faces of stone And they grind us like corn But who speaks for me I, who have no voice Who decides for me It seems I have no choice Do I live do I die Will my family survive Will the ones who lean down from the trucks with their guns Allow us our lives One question I'd ask if I dare Of the ones who we never see Guns and dollars are voices for you But who speaks for me Hmmm We are born like calves We are held to be valuable things The guards in the long white houses Send to hear us sing In the heavy air of the evening While the blossoms float on the breeze We pluck our guitars for survival And we smile like fools But who speaks for me I, who have no voice Who decides for me For it seems I have no choice Do I live do I die Will my family survive Will the ones who lean down from the trucks with the guns Allow us our lives One question I'd ask if I dare Of the ones who we never see Guns and dollars are voices for you But who speaks for me One question I'd ask if I dare Of the ones who we never see Guns and dollars are voices for you But who speaks for me |
