Mama Mama Can't You See Additional lyrics

Original Lyric (Origin Unknown)

Mama, Mama can't you see?
What police have come to be.
They keep trying to beat us down,
but we're rising all around.

Father, father can you feel?
The cold of bars made out of steel.
They keep putting me in jail,
Who want's the people all to fail?

Sister, sister can you hear?
The police sirens drawing near.
I'm just trying to speak my peace,
but they just send in the police.

Brother Oh what will you say?
As they're leading me away.
I'm just trying to make a stand,
For the people of the land.

Daughter, daughter can you pay?
For what you learned in school today.
Did you know that you would fight?
For what should be your given right.

Oh my son, what will you do?
When they take your house from you.
Will you take it like a "man"?
Or will you finally take a stand.

Preacher oh what will you say?
On the pulpit come sunday.
Jesus turned the tables down,
And they laid him in the ground.

Doctor, Doctor will you heal?
The broken bones that I can feel.
Can you hear that awful sound?
The sound of heads hitting the ground.

Mama, Mama can't you see?
What the police have done to me.
They keep trying to drag me down,
But I'm rising from the ground.

Baby, Baby is it true?
What the policemen do to you?
When they tear you from my arms,
Do they put you behind bars.
