Pete Seeger - Everybody's Got a Right to Live lyrics

We are down in Washington Fighting against an age-old sin Nothing but ma** murder Done by age-old men. [Chorus:] Everybody's got a right to live Everybody's got a right to live And before this campaign fails We'll all go down to jail Everybody's got a right to live. Can't you hear the women and children Over in My Lai Screaming, "Lieutenant William Calley Why do we have to die?" [Chorus] Our brothers and our sisters Are demanding that we share Soil, rocks, minerals, The ocean and the air. [Chorus] No more some be rich While others dirt poor All around this world We say "Poverty No More!" [Chorus] Here we are in Washington Full of hope and pain To see if some folks gonna listen Or will they pluck their ears again. [Chorus] We haven't got much time left The sands are running out "Peace, Justice, Freedom You can hear the whole world shout!"
