Oh good God oh now what's What's troubling me What to buy, what just to see When I had a few things fewer Found myself far less in need Packed my shirts My fear, my guts, all given me Left my love for change in me Saw myself a man in anger Endlessly immersed in greed Found myself a place to build A home to be Troubles came and passed through me Made me fear but nothing's perfect Brought out something good in me All in silence, please write back, please talk with me And with excitement, let us ever greater be Oh good God, oh now what's What's troubling me Things I've heard and some I've seen Camera cars, ID and searches Supermarket kills my street Talked to men with rifles Standing 'cross the station Not police, a private force Not armed to protect all people Just the monied at the wharf All in silence, please write back, please comfort me And without violence, let us ever greater be Ain't that how it's supposed to be? All your silence, please write back, come stand with me And though we're frightened, let us ever greater be.
