Don't talk

There's a place where the animals play
Year after year it's the same ol' way
Then along comes a suit it's Exxon man
Covers it with shit he don't give a damn

Don't talk!

You're out there fightin', fightin' for the trees
Help Mother Nature from here knees
But along comes a cop and he's strappin' heat
Drags you off to jail says the judge you'll meet

Don't talk!
You're in prison boy
Don't talk!
Shut up and do what I say
Don't talk!
Don't want no social plea
'Cause the poor go to prison while the rich walk free
Don't talk!


Fat cat livin' of daddy's make
All ya ever known was take take take
Yeah buy your self a plane buy a chauffeur driven car
Millions of people starvin' yet you'll go far

Don't talk!

Spent your life workin' for the man
Had enough gonna take a stand
But along comes a cop and he's strappin' heat
Drags you off to jail says the judge you'll meet

Don't talk!
You're in prison boy
Don't talk!
Shut up and do what I say
Don't talk!
Don't want no social plea
'Cause the poor go to prison while the rich walk free
Yeah the poor go to prison while the rich walk free
I said the poor go to prison while the rich walk free
Don't talk!

Lyrics by Ralph Franklin 1990
