In the States negroes fight for freedom
The slogans they cry aren't wrong
But these are wasted words, only wasted words
Oh Lord, let the good times come
The greatest fighter is Martin Luther King
And when he speaks you see that they're gonna sing
But these are wasted words, only wasted words
Oh Lord, let the good times come
Everyone asks the President to use his rule
He got power but it seem that he's a tool.
So these are wasted words, only wasted words
Oh Lord, let the good times come
Where's the end of the fight for freedom
It could turn out ruight and all I hope and long
That there'll be no wasted words, no wasted words
Oh Lord, let the good times come
The slogans they cry aren't wrong
But these are wasted words, only wasted words
Oh Lord, let the good times come
The greatest fighter is Martin Luther King
And when he speaks you see that they're gonna sing
But these are wasted words, only wasted words
Oh Lord, let the good times come
Everyone asks the President to use his rule
He got power but it seem that he's a tool.
So these are wasted words, only wasted words
Oh Lord, let the good times come
Where's the end of the fight for freedom
It could turn out ruight and all I hope and long
That there'll be no wasted words, no wasted words
Oh Lord, let the good times come
