VERSE 1
These hands have been bruised
My soul’s (been) misused
All my life I been paying dues
We take the garbage off the streets
But Is that all you think of me?
What you should see, When you look at me,
Is I am a man
Verse 2
My feet, worn and tired
been working overtime
We unionize but
When Jim don’t pay me right
Mmmm
CHORUS
I just can’t get no peace
So we march in your streets
We refuse to clean
In the land of the free
I am I am
Can’t get no peace
So we march in your streets
We refuse to clean
Just so you can see
I am I am
BRIDGE
No I can’t change my skin, but you can change your heart
I’m not invisible
We’re all the same under God
We live, we live, we work in danger everyday.
And I don’t know how much more I can take
See I, I can’t, things can’t
Remain the same!
CHORUS
I just can’t get no peace
So we march in your streets
We refuse to clean
In the land of the free
I am I am
Can’t get no peace
So we march in your streets
We refuse to clean
Just so you can see
I am I am
