The Dells - I Hear Voices

To Rate
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
