red star singers - belly of the monster lyrics

[verse 1: gary lapow]
we’re in the belly of the monster was what che guevara said
the monster breathed its poisoned breath
now brother che’s lyin’ dead
his life gives us a vision of the things we’ve gotta do
when you’re living in a monster, the monster becomes a part of you

[chorus: gary lapow & red star singers]
we gotta go through
changes, we gotta go through changes
changes, we gotta go through changes every day
i know we’re getting stronger, till thе monster we will slay
with our sisters and our brothеrs, we struggle to fight the beast
with the weapon of our unity, we shall be released

[verse 2: gary lapow]
now ho chi minh had a vision, you know what he saw
one united vietnam with its people forever free from war
whatever privilege he could have had
ho gave up to fight the beast
and for the victory in vietnam, we inside this monster must be released

[chorus: gary lapow & red star singers]
yes, we gotta
struggle, we gotta learn to struggle
struggle every day
chose life in our struggle, don’t try to run away
within us and without us, we’ve all got to fight the beast
my sisters and brothers, we shall be released
[verse 3: gary lapow]
in ireland, in cambodia, in brazil and mozambique
the wretched of the earth are rising
throwing the shackles from from off their feet
and here in the belly of babylon where people suffer, too
we’re choking to death with poisoned breath
we’re gonna do what we know what we know we got to do

[chorus: gary lapow, red star singers, & bonnie lockhart]
i know we’re gonna
struggle, we’re gonna keep on strugglin’
struggle every day
we’re bound to choose life in the struggle
don’t try to run away; no, no, no
within us and without us, we’ve got to fight the beast
well, my sisters and my brothers, we shall be released
livin’ in a world that’s free (we shall be released)
be what we wanna be (we shall be released)
yeah (we shall be released)

[french h+rn solo: mike margulis]

[verse 4: gary lapow]
every day our energies get all twisted in a vise
of lies to make us like our foes and ourselves despise
but as we learn to help each other from the grip of private fears
in love and rage, we begin the fight that’s gonna last us a whole lot of years
[chorus: gary lapow & red star singers]
changes, we’re gonna go through changes
changes every day
yes, and i know we’re getting stronger, till the monster we will slay
with our sisters and our brothers, we all struggle to fight the beast
with the weapon of self+criticism, we shall be released

[verse 5: gary lapow]
here in the monster’s belly just to stay alive
we’re each hustling to support ourselves, conniving to survive
we can end our life’s lonely labor and create something new
our strength is in our numbers
when we unite there’s nothing in the world we can’t do

[chorus: gary lapow & red star singers]
nothing’s gonna stop us when we
struggle, we gotta learn to struggle
struggle every day
well, we got to choose life in our struggle
don’t try to run away; no, no, no, no
within us and without us, we’ve got to fight the beast
well, my sisters and my brothers, we shall be released

[verse 6: gary lapow]
now throughout this land of ours
people are tryna find their way
but if we don’t support each other’s struggles
it’s ourselves that we betray
we share a vision, will you believe us when we speak?
we got to make revolutionaries out of folks like you and me
[bridge: red star singers]
you and me
you and me
you and me

[chorus: red star singers & gary lapow]
struggle
keep on strugglin’, struggle every day
choose life (loud!) in the struggle, don’t try to run away
within us and without us, we’ve got to fight the beast
my sisters and brothers, we shall be released
don’t you hear us now?
we shall be released
don’t you hear the words we’re singin’?
we shall be released
make a revolution
we shall be released!
