Lyrics Just Say No - Voices

Corporate media slogan
Makes it sound so plain
Looking to the future
It's a national campaign
To mesmerize our hearts our minds
With a clever and catchy line
The quick fix isn't enough
It's time to call their bluff

Just say "no."
Just say "no."
Just say "no."
Just say "no."

Keep on building prisons
Guess who's got to go?
Lots of young black mothers
While the children
Just say "no."

Endless covert actions
Launder money
Ollie knows
Secret arms deliveries
While the children
Just say "no."

Just say "no."
Just say "no."
Just say "no."
Just say "no."

More money for the feds
Police powers watch them grow
Trample on the bill of rights
While the children
Say "no."

U.S. troops down south
Putting on a drug war show
Lots of Latins dying while the children
Just say "no."

Just say "no."
Just say "no."
Just say "no."
Just say "no."

The words are very clever
They read the man's rights are sweet (so sweet)
Just don't think too deeply
They're sure to knock you off your feet
They're flying away, away
It doesn't matter what we say
We're flying away, away
And don't you think we sound just great?

Just say "no."
Just say "no."
Just say "no."
Just say "no."

National Guard's in the cities
On house to house patrol
Starting with the public housing
While the children say "no."

It's for our protection
Bush tells the Congress so
Lots of white men nodding in agreement
While the children say "no."

Just say "no."
Just say "no."
Just say "no."
No, no, no
Just say "no."
Just say "no."
Just say "no."
Just say "no."
No, no, no
Just say "no."

Sounds like a solution
As far as slogans go
Words won't get us where we ought to go
And the children, they know
