Equal Rights / Downpressor Man

Everyone is crying out for peace

None is crying out for justice

I said, "if the one is crying out for peace"

I said, "none is crying out for justice"

But there will be no peace

'Till men get equal rights

Equal rights and justice

Equal rights

Equal rights and justice

Equal rights

Equal rights and justice

Equal rights

Equal rights and justice

Everybody want to go up to heaven

I say, "hell, nobody want to die" (and visits the Jesus)

Everybody want to go up to heaven

I say, "hey, but none of them want to die"

I don't know why

But ain't gonna be no peace

'Till men get the equal rights

Equal rights and justice

Equal rights

Equal rights and justice

We need equal rights

Equal rights and justice

Equal rights, equal rights and justice
