Redemption Song Songtext

Oh pirates, yes they rob usSold I to the merchant shipsMinutes after they took IFrom the bottomless pitBut my hand was made strongBy the hand of the almightyHe fought in this generationTriumphantly[chorus]Won't you help me singThese songs of freedom'cause all i ever hadRedemption songEmancipate yourself from menatl slaveryNone but ourselves can free our mindsHave no fear for atomic energy'cause none o' them can stop the timeHow long will they kill our prophetsWhile we stand around and look?Some say it's just a part of itWe got's to fulfill the book[chorus]
