Beat Down the Dust (feat. Railroad Earth) Lyrics by Warren Haynes

Ashes & Dust

0

He said "man, there's got to be a plan
There's  always been a plan and
What's  happening ain't right
And we can't let go of our power
'Cause we're rich and we're straight and we're white
Content  with our sins
But  don't you go calling us selfish
Comfortable in our own skin
As  long as it doesn't touch anyone else's
Time to beat down the dust
Can't have it dragging us down
Can't have it clinging to us
Can't  have it turning us brown"
He said "Man has always been the man
And that's always been the way it should be
And they don't need to understand
As long as we make them
Believe that they're free
And keep everyone scared
That something's being taken away
That's the only way to keep
Things 'Back in the day'"
Time to beat down the dust
Can't have it dragging us down
Can't have it clinging to us
Can't have it turning us brown
Time to beat down the dust
Can't have it rising you see
Time to beat down the dust
Keep it off from you and me
And when the day finally comes
We'll be so far away
They'll never know what we stole
It'll be all hidden away
And we can supply our own energy
God knows we own enough companies
Maybe even start our own country
Where all rich, white men are free
Time to beat down the dust
Can't have it dragging us down
Can't have it clinging to us
Can't have it turning us brown
Time to beat down the dust
Can't have it rising you see
Time to beat down the dust
Keep it off from you and me
