Song title: I got to know


I got to know

I've got to know yes
I've got to know friend
Hungry lips asking wherever I go
Comrades and friends are falling around me
I've got to know yes
I've got to know

Why do your warships sail on my harbour?
Why do the ???
Why do you hurt my farm and my town now?
I've got to know yes
I've got to know

What makes your ??? death to my people
Nitro blockbusters, big cannons and guns
Why can your guns ???
I've got to know yes
I've got to know

I've got to know yes
I've got to know friend
Hungry lips ask me wherever I go
Comrades and friends are falling around me
I've got to know yes
I've got to know

Why can't my two hands get a good paid job
I can still ???, I can still sew
Why did your law book chase me off my good land
I'd sure like to know friend, I've just got to know

What good work did you do I'd like to ask you
To give you my money right out of my hand
I built your big house, I've ??? you people
I made you ??? I'd like to know

Keep me in jail and you lock me in prison
Your hospitals jammin', you greasy ???
And what made your cop kill my trade union worker
Well after dark ??? I've still got to know

Why can't I ever ???
???
Why do you cause my ???
I'm asking you sir cause I sure got to know

I've got to know yes
I've got to know friend
Hungry lips ask me wherever I go
Comrades and friends are falling around me
I've got to know yes
I've got to know

I've got to know yes
I've got to know friend
Hungry lips ask me wherever I go
Comrades and friends are falling around me
I've got to know yes
I've got to know
