Wasted Words

In the States negroes fight for freedom

The slogans they cry aren't wrong

But these are wasted words, only wasted words

Oh Lord, let the good times come

The greatest fighter is Martin Luther King

And when he speaks you see that they're gonna sing

But these are wasted words, only wasted words

Oh Lord, let the good times come

Everyone asks the President to use his rule

He got power but it seem that he should too

So these are wasted words, only wasted words

Oh Lord, let the good times come

Where's the end of the fight for freedom

It could turn out ruight and all I hope and long

That there'll be no wasted words, no wasted words

Oh Lord, let the good times come
