Let Robeson Sing - Ian Brown Remix

Lyrics

Where are you now?
 Broken up or still around?
 The CIA says you're a guilty man
 Will we see the likes of you again?
 Can anyone make a difference anymore?
 Can anyone write a protest song?
 Pinky lefty revolutionary
 Burnt at the stake for
 A voice so pure - a vision so clear
 I've got to learn to live like you
 Learn to sing like you
 Went to Cuba to meet Castro
 Never got past sleepy Moscow
 A giant man with a heavenly voice
 MK Ultra turned you paranoid
 No passport 'til 1958
 McCarthy poisoned through with hate
 Liberty lost still buried today
 Beneath the lie of the USA
 Say what you want
 Say what you want
 A voice so pure - a vision so clear
 I've got to learn to live like you
 Learn to sing like you
 Now let the Freedom Train come zooming down the track
 Gleaming in the sunlight for white and black
 Not stopping at no stations marked colored nor white
 Just stopping in the fields in the broad daylight
 Stopping in the country in the wide open air
 Where there never was a Jim Crow sign nowhere
 And no lilly-white committees, politicians of note
 Nor poll tax layer through which colored can't vote
 And there won't be no kinda color lines
 The Freedom Train will be yours
 And mine
 A voice so pure - a vision so clear
 I've got to learn to live like you
 Learn to sing like you
 Sing it loud, sing it proud
 I will be here, I will be found
 Sing it loud, sing it proud
 I will be here, I will be found
