Eliza Gilkyson Sooner Or Later
We've been under their thumb for a long, long time
They give us just enough water, just enough wine
Just enough crumbs, a dollar and a dime
Just enough hope, to keep us towing the line
Sooner or later
Sooner or later, sooner later
It's a natural fact
Gonna rise up, gonna take it all back
Well they keep us separated, by the shade of our skin
The dark ones relegated to the bottom of the bin
And woman was created to put out and to give in
The gamе is rigged and weighted so you'rе never gonna win
Sooner or later
Sooner or later, sooner later
It's a natural fact
Gonna rise up, gonna take it all back
Well they gave us a God, looking down from on high
They gave us a story about the by and by
And a moment of glory coming after you die
Would you know damn well is a lie
Sooner or later
Sooner or later, sooner later
It's a natural fact
Gonna rise up, gonna take it all back
Well they gave us a God, looking down from on high
They gave us a story about the by and by
And a moment of glory coming after you die
Would you know damn well is a lie
They take the oil from the earth, put the coal dust in the sky
The poison in the waters, they don't care if people die
They take the food from the hungry, medication from the poor
The children from the mothers, we can't take it any more
Sooner or later
Sooner or later, sooner later
It's a natural fact
Gonna rise up, gonna take it all back
