Vieques, Puerto Rico: Bikini Revisited

All united, all as one
Let's make a stand
We've got a privilege in the power
That we commandSo let's not drown in ignorance
And let our strength waste away
As the richest nation in the world
We've got a responsibilityVieques, Puerto Rico
A protectorate of the U.S.A.
Part a home to native families
The rest a navy bombing rangeShells misfired kill civilians there
And napalm hangs in the island air
But the government beats down
Protests against this misuseSo stand up, fight back, resist, refuse
'Cause if we don't do it, no one's going to
So stand up, fight back, resist, refuse
'Cause if we don't do it, no one's going toI look into the eyes
Of a dead island boy's face
His eyes remind me of another's
From different time and placeWhere A-bombs baked the ground
On bikini's tropical lands
Where a culture was erased
Families misplaced by a Nazi-esque like planAll done in your name by uncle Sam
So if we don't fight it then we're guilty too
So stand up, fight back, resist, refuse
'Cause if we don't do it, no one's going toI think it's 'bout time that we had a change
I think it's 'bout time that we make a change
I think it's 'bout time that we had a change, yeah
I think it's 'bout time that we make a change, yoI think it's 'bout time that we had a change
Now, I think it's 'bout time that we make a change
Make a change, a change, a changeAbout time we had a change, time for change
About time we make a change, time for change
About time we make a change, change
About time we make a, we make a change
