Lems Kristin - I Wasn`t Surprised слова песни

When our towns were in flame and yet we got the blameI wasn`t surprisedWhen police stormed the streets and no one came to our needsI wasn`t surprisedWell it wasn`t our last and it wasn`t our firstMy people are killed even right in our churchAnd maybe I`m wise from too many criesBut I wasn`t surprised.When they shot Fred and Mark as they slept in the dark,I wasn`t surprisedWhen the commission contends it was in "self defense"I wasn`t surprisedWell it wasn`t our last and it wasn`t our firstMy people are killed in their sleep, in the churchAnd maybe I`m wise from hearing his cries,But I wasn`t surprised.In a Southern jail cell, a guard gave a girl hell, andI wasn`t surprisedShe fought back and defied, became an outlaw statewideAnd I wasn`t surprisedAnd I wasn`t surprisedWell it wasn`t our last and it wasn`t our firstMy people are killed in the prisons and churchAnd maybe I`m wise from too many criesBut I wasn`t surprised.Well right down the block, a young boy picked a lockAnd I wasn`t surprisedThe police shot him dead, he was hungry, how he bled!I wasn`t surprisedIt wasn`t our last and it wasn`t our firstMy people are killed down the block, in the churchAnd maybe I`m wise from hearing his criesBut I wasn`t surprised.When they shot down my son, nothing wrong had he doneI wasn`t surprisedHe was walking to class `cross the Jackson State grassAnd I wasn`t surprisedWell it wasn`t our first and it wasn`t our lastMy family is killed even crossing the grassAnd maybe I`m wise from hearing his criesBut I wasn`t surprised.I`ve seen your children fall and I grieve for you all,But I wasn`t surprisedI have known all along that they`re mean and they`re strongSo don`t be surpriseedWell it wasn`t your last, it was only your firstThe day will come round that they`ll kill you in churchAnd maybe I`m wise from too many liesBut I wasn`t surprised.Well I`m bitter as hell, but one thing I`ll tell youYou might be surprisedIf we stand side by side to stop this genocideThey will be surprisedFor as long as we`re silent, as long as we`re stillThey`ll gun us and shun us, you know that they willSo raise your voices high in one unified cryAnd we`ll see who`s surprised!words and music by Kristin Lems c MCMLXXIX Kleine Ding Music (BMI)chorus:Oh Mama, it`s hurtin even worseLove is such a blessing and love is such a curseStartin is so easy, partin is a painAlways gettin this heart involved will drive me insaneOh Mama, I never seem to learnYou told me more than once how much a soul can burnBut standin by the fire`s heat felt so goodI burned myself just like you knew I wouldchorusWhen the end comes, you know it hurts so badBut I try to keep in mind the beauty that I hadMama, I inherited this heart from youAnd now that I`ve got it, tell me what to dochoruswords and music by Kristin Lems c MCMLXXIX Kleine Ding Music (BMI)
