I wrote new words to the Alabama3 classic, and they lent me samples from their original recording. I re-wrote some of the words, turned it into an anti-war song. Strange: we seem so different musically and personally, but we’re mutual fans and I love the cross-pollination in the song.
GMO GMO has got to go Power in the blood Power in the blood
No time for spin-doctors’ medicine Corporation government selling me some cover-up Weaponizing pesticides; poison in my groceries Nothing but another drug, a license they can buy and sell
I don’t mind dying Well I don’t mind dying I don’t mind dying But when that call it comes I will say no no no to war
No time for backhanded compliments From television anchor men desperate for an incident Real estate assassins exploiting our predicament Everything depends upon it being in their interests
No I don’t mind dying I don’t mind dying I don’t mind dying When that call it comes, I will say no no no to war
There is power in the blood, justice in the soul When that call it comes, I will say no no no to war Power in the blood, justice in the soul When that call it comes I will say no no no to war
There’s military interest, GMOs in paradise bio-weapons high up on the call sheet Young soldiers driving tanks but old thieves they drive the banks and you never see a uniform on Wall Street
There is power in the blood
I don’t mind dying I don’t mind the dying I don’t mind dying When that call it comes I will say no no no to war
