We Don't Mind Songtext
von Michael Franti

We don′t mind
See, we been doing it all the time
But if you want us to sacrifice
You will not get it without a price
We don't mind
See, we been doing it all the time
But if you want us to sacrifice
You got to give something back to life

You think I′m vulnerable to your pressure tactics
Because I shed a tear, 'cause I shed a tear
You think I'm vulnerable to your violence
Just ′cause I′m sittin' here, ′cause I'm sittin′ here
But my babies came into this world, y'all
Without a single fear, said they had no fear
′Cause the seven generations before me
They all fought to get us here, they fought to get us here


But I say we don't mind
See, we been doing it all the time
But if you want us to sacrifice
You will not get it without a price
But I say we don't mind
See, we been doing it all the time
But if you want us to sacrifice
You got to give something back to life

You can′t just come in here like that no more
Snatch up our childhood, our childhood
You can′t just walk on up and replace it, yo
With your Hollywood, with your Hollywood
But I see now how all of the words I say
You think you misconstrue, you wanna misconstrue
And I'm prepared now to suffer the penalties
For speaking the truth and I speak the truth

When I say we don′t mind
See, we been doing it all the time
But if you want us to sacrifice
You will not get it without a price
And I say we don't mind
See, we been doing it all the time
But if you want us to sacrifice
You got to give something back to life


And I say people, if you hear me now
I want you to say na-na-na, na-na, na-na
Everybody now, people, if you hear me now
I want you to say na-na-na, na-na, na-na
That′s right, y'all, people, if you hear me now
I want you to say na-na-na, na-na, na-na
Uh-huh, oh yeah
And I say people, if you hear me now
I want you to say na-na-na, na-na, na-na

We don′t mind
See, we been doing it all the time
But if you want us to sacrifice
You will not get it without a price
And I say we don't mind
See, we been doing it all the time
But if you want us to sacrifice
You got to give something back to life

And I say we don't mind
See, we been doing it all the time
But if you want us to sacrifice
You will not get it without a price
And if you want us to sacrifice
You got to give something back to life
And if you want us to sacrifice
You will not get it without
We don′t mind
See, we been doing it all the time
But if you want us to sacrifice
You got to give something back
To life
