The Grace Of Howard Zinn

sampled piano, voice, drums, maracas, fuzz acoustic guitar, bass, synth, electric guitar, multiple tambourines



Two lessons to take from Howard Zinn: we should always suspect anyone who has a ready answer to
the world's problems; and, it requires a tremendous amount of courage to act against the dominant system.

All of the things that you leave out in the rain
Til the sun shines down in vain
Your coat's so small for this far north
We're in for a lonely fight

All of the dreams that you keep out of the night
Track you down in broad daylight
Your heart's so big for this far down
We're in for a lonely fight
We're in for a lonely fight

It's too easy to say I wish we all would play fair
We go looking for answers and what we get is a dare
It's too easy to say I wish we all would play fair
We go looking for answers and what we get is a dare

None of your rights will be won by asking nice
There will always be a price
They'd have you trade your life for dirt
We're in for a lonely fight
We're in for a lonely fight

It's too easy to say I wish we all would play fair
We go looking for answers and what we get is a dare
It's too easy to say I wish we all would play fair
We go looking for answers and what we get is a dare
