bjbjLULU If They Come In The Morning Jack Warshaw They call it the law - apartheid,
internment, conscription, partition and silence It's the law that they made to keep you and
me where they think we belong They who hide behind steel and bullet-proof glass, machine
guns and spies And tell us who suffer their tear gas and torture that we're in the wrong
No time for love if they come in the morning No time to show fear or for tears in the morning
No time for goodbyes no time to ask why And the wail of the siren is the cry of the morning
The trade union leaders, the rebels, the writers, the fighters and all The strikers who fought
with the cops at the factory gate The sons and the daughters of unnumbered heroes who
paid with their lives The poor folk whose color or class or belief was their only mistake
They took away Sacco, Vanzetti, Connolly and Pearse in their time They came for Newton
and Seal and the Panthers and some of their friends In Boston, Chicago, Saigon, Santiago,
Cape Town and Belfast And places that never made headlines, the list never ends They tell
us that here we are free to say and to think what we please To march and to write and to
sing as long as we do it alone But say it and do it with comrades united and strong
And they ll give you a long rest with walls and barbed wire for a home The boys blue are
only a few of the everyday cops on their beat The CID, Branch men and spies and informers
do their job well Behind them the men who tap phones, take pictures and programme computers
and file And the ones who give the orders which tell them when to come and take you
to a cell So come all you people to give to your brothers and sisters the will to fight
on They say you get used to a war but that doesn't mean the war isn't on The fish needs
the sea to survive just as your comrades do And the death squads can only get to them
if first they can get through to you If They Come In The Morning Jack Warshaw Normal.dot
