Ghetto Soundwave Songtext
von Fishbone

There′s another cry of murder
Policemen shoot down baby brother
Shot him, shot him down in the street
But did they know the mother's grief?
Were they sure they got the right one?
And did they know it was her only son?
Yeah, yeah

Father tried to feed his family
They come here to find their opportunity
Living, living, living in the street
With their dreams and with their humility
Can we see all the pain and hurt?
They love this land maybe more than us
Yeah, yeah

It′s the ghetto soundwave
Get to me every day
It's the ghetto soundwave
Get to me every day


Another bourgeois politician
Hears our plea but does not listen
Never, never, never sees the need
But caters only to his greed
Can't he see there′s no use in lying?
And don′t he know all our hope is dying?

Our hope is dying
Our hope is dying
Hey, sing, sing it
Our hope is dying
Our hope is dying

It's the ghetto soundwave
Get to me every day
It′s the ghetto soundwave
Get to me every day
It's the ghetto soundwave
Get to me every day
It′s the ghetto soundwave
Get to me every day
