Rooster came to America
Must have been a sight to see
On a boat out of Africa 1823
Had to learn the customs here
He got to know first hand
How a man could own another man
Since the time that he lived and died
A whole lot of things have changed
Still you know there's a lot of things
Seem just about the same
Now the sons of Rooster's sons are something we call friends
They live across the railroad tracks from me
It's a hard way to go
We are going
It's a long way around
It don't have to be
But it sure seems like to me
That the only way we know is a hard way to go
Set a price on a know enough
The different between right and wrong
A deadline for the time it takes
To learn how to get along
X amount of centuries X amount of pain
A fair amount of pullin against the chain
And its a hard way to go we are going
It's a long way around
It don't have to be but it sure seems like to me
That the only way we know is a hard way to go
Yeah the only way we know is a hard hard way to go
