they say that sometimes
you gotta pick up arms and fight
for what you believe is right
and some say that's just not the way
you'll only make things worse

so i close my eyes and turn head away
and i hope it'll be alright
fall into a restless sleep while
so many innocent die

that's why i sing yeah

hail to all of us,
hail to all of us down here
hail to all of us,
hail to all of us down here

well maybe someday soon
when we've thought things over
we'll know what to do
but, probably, there's a much bigger chance you see
that it will all be gone gone

so i close my eyes and turn my head away
and hope it'll be alright
fall into a restless sleep while
so many innocent die

that's why i sing yeah

hail to all of us,
hail to all of us down here
hail to all of us,
hail to all of us down here

yeah, yeah, yeah

new york city, london, jericho
jerusalem, sydney, anywhere you wanna go
cape town, to the moon and back again

well,
hail to all of us,
hail to all of us down here
hail to all of us,
hail to all of us down here
yeah, yeah

they say that sometimes
you gotta pick up arms and fight
for what you believe is right
