WORK IN PROGRESS The Fierce Church of Saint Michael

[Father Jorge Cervantes]

The Church of Saint Michael​

"From the Center to Dogstown, we find misery,
But there won't be no more, won't be no more,
Rats, dirt and kids who are hungry,
There won't be no more, won't be no more.
Cause we've seen how to be free,
Of pigs on our streets, and poverty.

To this way of life, we're closing the door,
So here won't be no more, won't be no more.

There were times, we stood by, like we could not see,
But there won't be no more, can't be no more,
We'll get guns to defend our communities.
There won't be no more, can't be no more,
We'll control our destiny, no more murder
Of our people in their sleep.

To this way of life, we're closing the door,
So here won't be no more, won't be no more.

Wars 'round the world to keep folks from being free,
There won't be no more, poor people - can't be no more,
Sending us to fight some false enemy,
There can't be no more, can't be no more,
Because now we understand, there'll be peace
When corpos are killed from this land.

To this way of life, we're closing the door,
So there won't be no more, won't be no more"
- Michaelist adaptation of a very old american music.
