[spoken]
thanks for havin’ me, i think i just- i got a few more left
just a second
so this is a bit of a rewrite
you’re not a songwriter until you’ve stole one
i really liked the idea of this song
and i contacted the people that wrote it
old crow medicine show
at least, asked them if i could put it on the record
they told me flat out “no” they don’t accept rewrites
which i thought was a bit ironic, considering how they got to where they are
but then i found out, i’m an idiot, it’s actually a dave rawling song
so, win-win right?

[verse 1]
i hear the crying of the hungry in the deserts where they’ve drifted
i hear tortured souls of victims, as their lives, from them, are lifted
i hear destructive power failin’, i hear fools falsely hailin’
to the crooked wits of tyrants when they call

i hear them all, i hear them all, i hear them all

i hear the debt, of death and blood, a-weighin’ heavy on our hands
as thieves and silver-tongues separate us from our land
pumpin’ poison’s in the wells, trumpin’ reason where it dwells
and tied on a tight leash, we stand and thrall

i hear them all, i hear them all, i hear them all

i hear that the rebels fought for freedom with their pride as their guide
while saviors saved the kingdom with their god on their side
to protect and serve their masters who profit from great disasters
as we take that long walk to the wailing wall

i hear them all, i hear them all, i hear them all

i hear the cheated, misled youth are betting their futures on degrees
and cling to leaning learning like a plank that’s lost it’s sea
push to medications when they can’t recite quotations
to professors who stock those hallowed halls

i hear them all, i hear them all, i hear them all

i hear the split of tearing pages and the roar of burning paper
as all our games and acquisitions have turned to air and ash and vapor
and the rattle of our shackles beats our march into the battle
and we’ll sing where we stand or where we crawl

i hear them all, i hear them all, i hear them all

i hear the tender words of children, pleading out for some guidance
as the gentle winds that blow all our answers in it’s silence
in the times that are quickly changing states the order needs re-arranging
take your places at the table when you’re called

i hear them all, i hear them all, i hear them all

so while they hide behind their gates with your money and your power
i hear the truth echo loud in the rubble of their towers
i hear babies babies quit their cryin’, i hear leaders quit their lyin’
i hear soldiers quit their dyin’, one and all

i hear them all, i hear them all, i hear them all
i hear them all, i hear them all, i hear them all
i hear them all, i hear them all, i hear them all
