Lyrics
We got no money, got no jobs
Crime's takin' over, makin' times so hard
Assassination, tryin' to shoot you down
When you need a friend, there's no one found
We had a lovely world, when all begin to cease
Human negatives have become the beast
Positives are crumblin' down
We need You, Jesus
Callin' on Bigfoot
I say, Jesus
Come free your people
We need You now
Come free your people
Guess it doesn't matter what we have to face
If we lose the wisdom, you know we lose the race
What used to be love is now a naked sex
Make a natural feeling so damn complex
Positives are crumblin' down
Look out for me, Jesus
'Cause we need Your love
I need You, Jesus
Come free your people
We need You now
Come on, come on
Come free your people
Come free your people
Come free your people
We need You now
Come free your people
I got no money, we got no jobs
Crime's takin' over, makin' times so hard
Assassination, you see, tryin' to shoot you down
When you need a friend, there's no one found
Positives are crumblin' down
Who do we call now?
Call on Jesus
We need You, Bigfoot
Your hand to
Come free your people
Come free, come see
And come free your people
Come free your people
Come free your people
Lot of good people are waitin' on the Lord
Come free your people
Come see, come see your people
Come free your people
We need You now
Save the babies, save the babies
Come free your people
Save the babies, save the babies
Come free, come free your people
Free your people
Come free your people
Free your people
Come free your people
Free your people
