GOODBYE HUMANITY
If you weren't touched by Sharpville
You won't be touched by Wounded Knee
If you weren't touched by My Lai
You won't be touched by Nagasaki
Or the Freedom Fighters' Spirit
Of Amilcar, Che, Allende
If you won't be touched by Little Rock
Say goodbye to Humanity.
If you weren't moved by Attica
You weren't moved by Buchenwald
If you weren't moved by Kent State
You won't be moved by Bangladesh
Or genocide in Grassy Narrows
Human guinea pigs in Tuskagee
If you weren't moved by Auschwitz
Say goodbye to Humanity.
If you lost heart over Santiago
You'll feel hopeless by Soweto
If you're cowed by fascist victories
You won't stand up to be counted
Or lend support to a struggle
Not in your own backyard
If you won't pick up the gun to carry on
Say goodbye to Humanity
Goodbye goodbye
Goodbye Humanity
