One last drop, they’re gonna take all you got
They’re gonna drain this mother dry
And the drums no longer beat
And theres silence on the street
And no one seems to question why
So law after law creeps in through the back door
As our liberties fade with the night
Do they care if we stand, with banner in our hand
You’re already lost the fight
And still we bow down, with our backs to the wall
Still at the mercy of the corporate call
Forced to listen never given any choice
So much for your democratic voice
One last drop, they’re gonna take all you got
They’re gonna drain this mother dry
And the drums no longer beat
And theres silence on the street
And no one seems to question why
Years will come and the years will go
And the hope and change never seem to show
And the wars still rage and the blood still flow
Promise after promise as talk is cheap
Same old rendition week after week
And nothing seems to change nothing seems to move
Same old record stuck in the same old groove
And nothing seems to change nothing seems to move
Same old record stuck in the same old groove
One last drop, they’re gonna take all you got
They’re gonna drain this mother dry
And the drums no longer beat
And theres silence on the street
And no one seems to question why
