	Story Behind the Song Completely self explanatory don't you think? Features John Cardoso on drums, which were laid down simultaneously w/guitar in 1 take. You just gotta love that guy! Everything else was an afterthought(keys/harmonica). Lyrics Brought into a world and I didn't ask to be Childhood was a happy time; little misery I was taught there is a right and there's a wrong but never gave a passing thought to how my ancestors were bought (Bridge) Long as I am able I'll put my pen to paper Paint it black, I'll paint it white but nothin' changes overnight (Chorus) Freedom, peace, democracy Trust and love and brotherhood ain't what they seem America, such opportunity America, you lied to me Now that I'm much older and wiser than my years I realize too well why mother cried her tears Now it's back and it just won't go away It's time to love your brother and not kill one another (Breakdown) Massa' take good care of me He keep me in his company and if I don't get outta line everythin' be fine but why's he always bother me when I be livin' peacefully? That's when I get uppity like Martin Luther used to be!
