"Can't Take It Much Longer" lyrics by Eldon McGraw

We walk the streets crying freedom every one of us
The battles just begun with justice at then end
Fists in the air, guns pointed at our heads
We will not forget the faces of the dead

We can't take it much longer
We can't take it much longer
Working hard to get through to you
But we can't take it much longer

Well just when you thought we were givin it all up
We came back at you with all that we had
And all that we had, well it's not enough
But all that we had is makin it tough
Can't take it much

Can't take it much longer
We can't take it much longer
Workin hard to get through to you
But we can't take it much longer

The sun will rise on every one of us
But the blood will rise with the falling of the dusk
They can run today but they won't hide forever
Beause the power of the people is driven by liberty
Freedom for the left, freedom for the right
Freedom for oppressed, freedom down the line

Well just you thought we were givin it all up
We came back at you with all that we had
And all that we had, well it's not enough
But all that we had is makin it tough
Can't take it much

Can't take it much longer
We can't take it much longer
Workin hard to get through you
But we can't take it much longer

In the beginning, it was too good to be true
What we always hoped for, well maybe it's through
But we won't forget, the sacrifices made
And we won't forget, the faces of the dead

The world won't forget, what we've done
And the world won't forget, what they've
Becuase the day will come, when your rule end
And the day will come, with justice at the end

We can't take it much longer
We can't take it much longer
We can't take it much longer
We can't take it much longer
