lyrics

This nation is indeed a sick nation
perishing by the moment

So there is no question about faith
but faith without works is dead
Faith that doesn’t work is dead
and faith without works is dead

And we feed our people
and we live together as they did
on the day of Pentecost
If you don’t have any income in our church
or if you have too little income
we all
we have seventy different homes
in which we all live
as it was on the day of Pentecost
we all share and have all things common
If somebody only has fifty dollars
and somebody else makes four hundred
we share and we all eat
as they did and was revealed
in the church on the Apostolic day

Say, what does it mean
to have all things common?
It means you don’t have to worry anymore.
It means when all people are one family
as they were when the church was inci-
conceived and was in inception on the day of Pentecost
when you are together as one
you don’t have to worry anymore
you don’t have to worry
you don’t have to worry
you don’t have to worry no more

and I listen to them talk about
sixty million Americans about to lose their homes
I listen to eighty percent of
the black people that own property in 1945
have either lost it or it’s going into receivership
in the mortgage banks
I listen to fifteen million people
that are starving to death
I didn’t hear it from some newspaper
I heard it from the heads of the government
of the United States today

I listen to them talk about planned takeovers
I listen to them to talk about it
like it was an ordinary Sunday school picnic
And you don’t have to be very far off to realize
it’s in your newspapers
Task force warns nation
to get ready for riots
and to get ready for martial law
and to get ready for concentration camps
This is in the Hearst press just this week
Get ready for identification marks to be put on your body
and identification number
even if necessary tattooed on you
like the- our corporations have done
in the Union of South Africa
Say, aw, America wouldn’t do that
Don’t talk to me about what America would not do
We’re doing it in Union of South Africa
We rule that country now
Ford and all those DuPonts and Rockefeller
they’re running the Union of South Africa
and our black and brown and poor people
cannot even be out after sun- uh, out after sundown
And there’s a tattoo on their arm
and if they don’t show that tattoo, they go to jail

Say. what’s that got to do with us?
Because the same corporations that rule this country
the same megalomaniacs
the same elitist, the same ruling class
Ford, DuPont, Chrysler, General Motors
they’re running the show over there
And if they will do that to our people over there
they’ll do it here when the trouble comes

It’s wonderful
Wonderful to know the truth
and the truth will set you free
Say, it’s uncomfortable
but it also sets you free
But to hear that kind of thing
coming out of the mouth of the government leaders
and to hear them say
we have no answers
To hear the head of housing
and to hear the head of welfare
the president’s appointments
and to hear the presidential secretary
say there is no answer
Said we can’t have housing
and we’re not able to have enough food
and enough shelter and medicine
We’re not going to be able to give it to the people

Something’s rotten
Something’s corrupt
Spiritual wickedness in high places
They’re afraid to say it

They buy you and they buy me
if we could be bought
but some of us have been purchased with a price
and we are not going to be kinship with this world
Our God is not flesh and blood
but it’s spiritual
it’s a l- ideal
it’s Pentecostal socialism
We’re not going be oppressed
by the tyranny of all the oppressive riches

It is written
the love of money is the root of all evil

But you
you’re going to get the truth tonight
if it kills you
because it’s already crucified me
Hallelujah
I’m crucified with Christ
I’m crucified with Pentecostal socialism
Nevertheless I live
yet not I but Christ that liveth in this body
It’s not a mortal you are looking at tonight
it’s not carnality you’re looking at tonight
but you’re looking at the hundredfold
the very spirit and the actual conscious presence
of a living God
