Song by Kevin Spacey<br /><br>

Come and sing a simple song of freedom<br>

Sing it like you've never sung before<br>

Let it fill the air<br>

Tell the people everywhere<br>

We, the people here, don't want a war.<br>

<br>

Hey, there, mister black man, can you hear me?<br>

I don't want your diamonds or your game<br>

I just wanna be someone known to you as me<br>

I will bet my life you want the same.<br>

<br>

Come and sing a simple song of freedom<br>

Sing it like you've never sung before<br>

Let it fill the air<br>

Tell the people everywhere<br>

We, the people here, don't want a war.<br>

<br>

Seven hundred million are ya list'nin'?<br>

Most of what you read is made of lies<br>

But, speakin' one to one ain't it everybody's sun<br>

To wake to in the mornin' when we rise?<br>

<br>

Come and sing a simple song of freedom<br>

Sing it like you've never sung before<br>

Let it fill the air<br>

Tell the people everywhere<br>

We, the people here, don't want a war.<br>

<br>

Brother Solzhenitsyn, are you busy?<br>

If not, won't you drop this friend a line<br>

Tell me if the man who is plowin' up your land<br>

Has got the war machine upon his mind?<br>

<br>

Come and sing a simple song of freedom<br>

Sing it like you've never sung before<br>

Let it fill the air<br>

Tell the people everywhere<br>

We, the people here, don't want a war.<br>

<br>

Now, no doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle<br>

Like presidents, prime ministers and kings<br>

So, let's all build them shelves<br>

Where they can fight among themselves<br>

Leave the people be who love to sing.<br>

<br>

Come and sing a simple song of freedom<br>

Sing it like you've never sung before<br>

Let it fill the air<br>

Tell the people everywhere<br>

We, the people here, don't want a war.<br>

<br>

I say aˆ¦ let it fill the air aˆ¦<br>

Tellin' people everywhere aˆ¦<br>

We, the people, here don't want a war.<br>

<br>
