And camera goes click and you press record
and you hand the document to the jazz musician
after they perform
And you talk and you listen
and you protest this war
And there is pain and it instigates change
And there is frustration that your voice is not heard
when you protest the war --
with a sign above your head -- in words
And your camera goes click as you press record
and the can of gasoline is there
for this final document -- your protest against the war
and some of us understood
you know the history
And your camera goes click as you press record
and you pour the gasoline
and Malachi you light match
that ends your life
in this final statement
and some of us heard your final words
and Malachi you light the match
that ends your life
in this final document -- your protest against this war
and some of us understood
and some of us heard
your final word
and you hand the document to the jazz musician
after they perform
And you talk and you listen
and you protest this war
And there is pain and it instigates change
And there is frustration that your voice is not heard
when you protest the war --
with a sign above your head -- in words
And your camera goes click as you press record
and the can of gasoline is there
for this final document -- your protest against the war
and some of us understood
you know the history
And your camera goes click as you press record
and you pour the gasoline
and Malachi you light match
that ends your life
in this final statement
and some of us heard your final words
and Malachi you light the match
that ends your life
in this final document -- your protest against this war
and some of us understood
and some of us heard
your final word
