Idle Hands - Harlem River Drive

You all know the story -- how it all began

It took five days — and then came Man

Oh, the land was free;

and so were we

No slavery — to lead the poverty

Idle hands… idle hands… idle hands

Then they rose up fast with their greatest schemes

Just killin' stealin' and taxin' using any means;

To disguise injustice — the so-called progress

And deny our people their right to happiness

Idle hands… idle hands… idle hands

Now things get worse with every year;

you can’t really live (no,

no) when you live in fear

Whatever our efforts — always fail;

while the whole world sleeps

Idle hands play

Idle hands… idle hands… idle hands

Now do you have the courage?

Do you have the will?

Do you have the guts, now — to see a dream fulfilled?

Do you wonder why — tell me do you give a damn?

Do you know what’s meant by the rights of Man?

Idle hands

Idle hands

Idle hands…
