WALK THE WALK

Words and Music By Sam Creigh

Sam Says: This is a protest song that attempts to address the deliberate social engineering that is slowly but steadily manipulating us into a police state here in the land of the free. The best way for us to resist is to move ourselves in the opposite direction. To do this requires booting all Republicans and Democrats out of office, regaining our national sovereignty, and regaining local control in our communities. The biggest challenge will be to turn our broken economic system around. It is imperative that every able-minded American actively participate. Talking about it is over.

Whatever happened to our soul

It fell down into a rabbit hole

Whatever happened to our pride

It snuck out into the wilderness to hide

It's often said that freedom isn't free

It's forged with blood in the fight for liberty

The time has passed to sit and talk the talk

It's time to stand up now and walk the walk

We all heard MLK* rightly say

That silence is betrayal today

It's said that our schools are in decline

And it seems our country isn't far behind

It's all for the common good we say

But there are new slaves shackled each and every day

The time has passed to sit and talk the talk

It's time to stand up now and walk the walk

Trade your rights for security

And you'll have neither in the land of the free

Stand up in your cities and your towns

And say we're not going to take it from these clowns

We all know that freedom isn't free

It's forged with blood in the fight for liberty

The time has passed to sit and talk the talk

It's time to stand up now and walk the walk

It's time to take back our local control

It's time to take back what's happened to our soul
