13.Johnny, Kick A Hole In The Sky

I cry, I cry
I was born in a land, I don't think you'd understand
God damn what I am
I'm a native of this place. Please don't kick me in my face
My race has been disgraced

(chorus)
Won't somebody testify kick a hole right in the sky
Testify testify kick a hole right in the sky
Slap a liar in his eye kick a hole right in the sky
Testify testify kick a hole right in the sky Johnny,
Johnny, Johnny

I want to ride wild
Put us in a pumpkin shell where you keep us very well
It's hell, where I dwell
When history books are full of sh*t, I become the anarchist
I'm pissed at this
What this country claims to be
It's a lie
No place for me
I bleed

(chorus)

I will decide to confide
Kill my trust if you must
But in my blood there is the lust
For life
That's right
Apache blood is in my heart thrashing through me like a shark
Crashing through the dark

(chorus)

I confide to fight
What am I supposed to do
I feel like I'm cut into confused
By rules
Do these cultures clash or am I living in the past
I ask please tell me fast

(chorus)

I write, that's right
To what do I belong and if I change will I be wrong
I took my foot kicked a hole in the sky
I proceeded to plead fathers help me decide
A jagged flash of light struck me in the eye
I turned around and found that I was still alive
Snakes rise high from the purple black sky
The red cloud rains and the black horse rides
Then it dawned on me like the mornin' sun
I'm a part of two worlds and the mornin' comes
Glowing embers tend to remember when
The power that is peace was treated as a friend
I am a master of and I've got to take action
I'm a man, the animal man
