Unknown Reggae Songtext
von Nellie McKay

I met him at a protest
Dolled up in his finest finery
A Malcolm X T-shirt
And a tambourine
To love him, it was hopeless
The cannons barely shook the barricade
We came in at the chorus
I could hear him say
"Eat that burger
Pass the kitchen condiments
Eat that mother
Don′t that hot sauce hit the spot?
Eat that torture
Don't you let your conscience harm you
Eye for that mother
Can′t see you suffer"
And one for all and all for another
Pouring rain, pouring rain
A long October under the sun
Pouring rain, pouring rain


Change comes for the better
If you want it
Our change will come
Hey you!
Eat that burger
All you all-Americans
Eat that mother
Give the chef my compliments
Eat that torture
Yeah, you show such understanding, eye
But that mother
Can't see you suffer
And one for all and all for another
Pouring rain, pouring rain
A long October under the sun
Pouring rain, pouring rain
Change comes for the better
If you want it
Our change will come
Stop!
Eat that burger
Pass the kitchen condiments
Eat that mother
Don't that hot sauce hit the spot?
Eat that torture
Won′t you let your conscience warm you?
Eye for that mother
You can′t see you suffer
