Lyrics

Inner city plea, save the whale and the spotted owl
Save the rainforest and the ecology
But who's concerned about saving me
Save the oil, the emir and the persian gulf

But what about us? Haven't we suffered enough
Save a nickel, save a dime
While our next generation is doing time
Save a country that ain't my own

Save a thief at a savings and loan
Save enough to send a man in space
But what about the people in the streets
Don't care enough to save our race

We're not asking for handouts anymore
Because with this statement
We are declaring a political and conscious raising
Economic war

Actions speak louder than words
So act now to our inner city plea
Because if you act too late
No telling what you may see

You've seen the fire and the riots
So what's next
Save your breath, if
You won't save me

If you won't save me
If you won't save me
If you won't save me
Save, save, yeah

Save ME , save ME, yeah
Save ME , save ME, yeah
