[00:00:00] Word Game (Live Version) - Stephen Stills

[00:00:17] Would you knock a man down

[00:00:19] If you don't like the cut of his clothes

[00:00:24] Could you put a man away if

[00:00:25] You don't want to hear what he knows

[00:00:30] Well it's happening right here

[00:00:32] People dying of fear by the droves

[00:00:37] And I know most of you

[00:00:39] Either don't believe it's true

[00:00:40] Or else you don't know what to do

[00:00:42] Or maybe I'm singing about you

[00:00:44] Who knows

[00:00:51] It's incredibly sick

[00:00:53] You can feel it as across the land it flows

[00:00:58] Prejudice is slick when it's a word game

[00:01:01] It festers and grows

[00:01:04] Move along quick

[00:01:05] It furthers one to have somewhere to go

[00:01:10] You can feel it as it's rumblin'

[00:01:11] Let emotions keep a tumblin'

[00:01:13] Then as cities start to crumblin'

[00:01:15] Mostly empty bellies grumblin'

[00:01:16] Here we go

[00:01:53] People see somebody different

[00:01:54] Fear is the first reaction shown

[00:02:00] Then they think they've got him licked the

[00:02:01] Barbaric hunt begins and they move in slow

[00:02:09] A human spirit is devoured the

[00:02:11] Remains left to carrion crows

[00:02:20] I was told that life is change

[00:02:21] And yet history remains

[00:02:23] Does it always stay the same

[00:02:25] Do we shrug it off and say

[00:02:26] Only God knows

[00:02:33] By and by

[00:02:35] Somebody usually goes down to the ghetto

[00:02:41] Try and help but they don't know

[00:02:43] Why folks treat them cold

[00:02:47] And the rich keep getting richer

[00:02:48] And the rest of us just keep getting old

[00:02:54] You see one must have a mission

[00:02:56] In order to be a good Christian

[00:02:58] If you don't you will be missing

[00:03:00] High Mass of the evening show

[00:03:07] And the well fed masters reap the

[00:03:08] Harvests of the polluted seeds they've sown

[00:03:13] Smug and self-righteous they

[00:03:15] Bitch about people they own

[00:03:20] And you can't prove them wrong

[00:03:22] They're so God damn sure they know

[00:03:27] I have seen these things with my very own eyes

[00:03:30] And defended my battered soul

[00:03:32] It must be too tough to die

[00:03:33] American propaganda South African lies

[00:03:36] Will not force me to take up arms

[00:03:38] That's my enemies' pride

[00:03:40] And I won't fight by his rules

[00:03:42] That's foolishness besides

[00:03:43] His ignorance is gonna do him in

[00:03:45] And nobody's gonna cry

[00:03:46] Because his children they are growing up

[00:03:48] They are growing up

[00:03:50] With bigots and their silver cups

[00:03:51] They're fed up they might throw up

[00:03:52] On you
