Boycotts and Bayonets

We've got boycotts and bayonets Twirlin' in the streets

We've got poster boards and black paint Now, ain't that neat

We've got sirens and bloody hands And dirty feet

We got supremacy, on the other side Man, they look beat

We can get together, riot forever Walk the picket line today

We can sit wherever We can wear our leather

We can seize the newborn day Don't be afraid, my brother

We've got one another To lean on when we burn the stage

Remember all our mothers Who taught us about good trouble

Remember the days when we all raged

We got boycotts and bayonets Dancing in the streets

We got baldheads in bandages Layin' in defeat

We've got children watchin' with a smile Now, ain't that sweet

We've got supremacy, and on the other side We'll turn in the heat

We can stick together, speak freely forever Walk in unity today

We can love whoever We can stand together

Build community and say Don't be afraid, my brother

We've got one another To lean on as we learn to pray

Remember all our fathers Who taught us about good trouble

Remember the day when we all played Together, whoa, together

Whoa, together, whoa, together Together, whoa, together

Whoa, together, whoa, together

We got boycotts and bayonets Swirlin' in the streets

We got poster boards and black paint Now, ain't that neat
