The Dells - I Hear Voices lyrics

I hear voices, I hear voices I hear voices, I hear voices In my ears is where I hear 'em Sounds like mothers Sounds like sisters Sounds like brothers Talkin' to one another Talkin' bout policemen Shooting down people at will Sadistic minds licensed to kill They talkin' bout the dope that's runnin' thru their babies' veins They talkin' bout the real deal and who's to blame I hear voices, I hear voices right now I can hеar 'em just as plain as day It ain't nothing but the truth y'all Every word thеy say Politicians talking 'bout ending the war When are they gonna do it y'all? What are they waiting for? Promises, promises, promises Meanwhile sons are dying and wives and mothers weep I hear voices Angry voices Crying voices Praying voices Can't you hear 'em? You can't hear 'em It's cause you don't want to hear 'em Cause you don't want to hear 'em Just listen to 'em I hear voices Just as plain as day I hear children crying, crying Mothers weeping for dying sons You know what ---what While the beat goes on Everybody's having fun I hear voices I hear those voices calling When I'm fast asleep Voices keep calling me in my sleep Help me Lord Come on and help me Help me from this ghetto scene Lord, it's all so mean Help me Lord Help me Lord, Lord
