A call to action from the Left Reverend Eugene McDaniels. Sure, you can keep your head down and stay out of trouble but as Gil said, the revolution will not be televised.
[Verse 1]
Long as I have my clams I don't give a damn about muddy waters
Long as I have my rice and it's tasting nice I'm gonna love your daughters
Long as I'm sitting well and not raising hell, I won't be a martyr
Long as I never read about other's needs, I won't have to suffer
[Hook]
In the twilight of my mind I know I'm doing something wrong
The green and black elevators bringing me down
To the basement on the 13th floor
[Verse 2]
Long as I have my clams I don't give a damn about revolution
Long as I have my rice I don't have to think twice about a solution
Long as I'm sitting well and not raising hell, I can't cause confusion
Long as I'm writing checks and going easy on sex, I'm not a protrusion
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Long as I have my clams I don't give a damn about my direction
Long as I have my soup I don't give a hoot about insurrection
Long as I'm sitting well in my padded cell, I got good protection
Long as I never read about other's needs, I don't have to vote in the election
[Hook]
