Not on my watch, oh, not on my watch Not while I´m around with all the love that l´ve got Not on my watch, oh, not on my watch Not while I´m around
Not on my watch
I met a man the other day His head was bald, his hair was gray He said, "I´ve got something to say Before I let you go your way" Said he was there in a struggle Had his share of getting in good trouble He´d seen how hate can go from subtle Into a deadly boiling bubble
Reach them young and teach them right Speak the truth and seek the light Change won´t happen overnight But you must wage a peaceful fight For all the power to the people God made everybody equal Stand up tall and yell to all from high up on the mountain top
Not on my watch, oh, not on my watch Not while I´m around with all the love that l´ve got Not on my watch, oh, not on my watch Not while I´m around Not on my watch
Schoolyard bullies, lunchtime clashes Grown up to be neo-fascists Separate us into classes And start more wars that end in ashes But you can march and you can yell Tell the president to go to hell ´Cause all his rich friends drained the well You´ll boycott everything they sell
The greed of businessmen at work
The selfish need to be ranked first Pollutes our air and poisons earth And leaves our sacred waters cursed But God made everybody equal So fight for power to the people And make a vow you won´t allow another mother´s tear to drop
Not on my watch, oh, not on my watch Not while I´m around with all the love that l´ve got Not on my watch, oh, not on my watch Not while I´m around Not on my watch Not on my watch Not on my watch
What will you do with what l´ve told you?
Will you be brave? Will you be bolder? Don´t wait until, like me, you´re old And it´s too late to save your soul Let me tell you now, my son The devil´s work is never done You´re still young, you´ve just begun You must keep fighting till we´ve won One day you´re gonna be much older And if this battle isn´t over Grab a youngster by the shoulder Show them how to be a soldier Teach them strategy and planning To keep them flames of war from fanning Really, all we are demanding Is kindness, love, and understanding And I won´t take anything less
Not on my watch, oh, not on my watch
Not while I´m around with all the love that l´ve got Not on my watch, oh, not on my watch Not while I´m around Not on my watch, oh, not on my watch Not while I´m around with all the love that I´ve got Not on my watch, oh, not on my watch Not while I´m around Not on my watch
