I met him at a protest

Dolled up in his finest finery

A Malcolm X t-shirt

And a tambourine



To love him, it was hopeless

The cannons fell and shook the barricade

We came in at the corners

I can hear him say



Eatin' that burger

Pass the kitchen condiments

Eatin' that murder

Don't let a hot sauce hit the spot



Eatin' that torture

Don't you let your conscience harm you?

Eye for that mother

Who can't see you suffer



And one for all and all for another

(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)

A long October under the sun

(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)



Change comes for the better

(If you want it)

Our change will come

Hey, you



Eatin' that burger

All you, all Americans

Eatin' that murder

Give the chef my compliments



Eatin' that torture

Yeah, you show such understandin'

Eye for that mother

Can't see you suffer



And one for all and all for another

(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)

A long October under the sun

(Pourin' rain, pourin' rain)



Change comes for the better

If you want it

Our change will come



Eatin' that burger

Pass the kitchen condiments

Eatin' that murder

Don't let a hot sauce hit the spot



Eatin' that torture

Won't you let your conscience warn you?

Eye for that mother

You can't see suffer
