Action - Mavis Staples
Written by：Merrill Garbus
Oh
Who's gonna do it if I won't
Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired
This ain't heaven help us
The say my words might get me fired
This ain't heaven help us
What a terrifying time to raise our voices
This ain't heaven help us
But see I'm not left with many more choices
This ain't heaven help us
I gotta put it in to
Action action
Action action
Doing it A to Z
I till I set myself free
Action action
Oh action
I don't care if you refuse to see
I gotta put it in to
Action action
Action action
Consider this a sign of an emergency
Action action
Action action
Who's gonna do it if I don't do it
So my brain's are filled with fear
This ain't heaven help us
So I feel the heat as night come near
This ain't heaven help us
Oh A-C-T-I-O-N
This ain't heaven help us
Please don't start really my friend
This ain't heaven help us
I gotta put it in to
Action action
Action action
Doing it A to Z
Until I feel so free
Action action
I don't care if you refuse to see
I gotta put it in to action
Action action action
Consider this a sign of emergency
Action action
Who's gonna do it if I don't do it
I'm tired of being scared
I'm so tired of being scared
Scared for my children I'm scared for our children
I'm tired of being scared
For the mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters
A-C-T-I-N-G gotta share the truth inside of me
This is an emergency
Of the highest and the fullest and the final degree
I'm still trying to be free
Don't let this separate you and me
Oh please
Who's gonna do it if I don't do it
Action action
Action action
Doing it A to Z
Until I feel so free
Action action
Action
I don't care if you refuse to see
I gotta put it in to action
Consider this a sign of emergency
Action
Action action
Who's gonna do it if I don't
