Over My Dead Body




I went looking for something extraordinary and found it close to home. It fits with this weeks emerging theme. Jim Page with Joe Martin on harmonica and vocal back-up, last summer at a Capitol Hill Veterans for Peace benefit. Beautiful and moving. The second clip is from the same show. Jim nails Something About Us and Joe plays his fucking heart out.
We are born in nature and in nature we will die
And if we don't make it, it's not because we didn't try

They say they will incorporate the world
Over my dead body, over my dead body,
over my dead body, over mine.

They have all the money but we have the will
And I would rather be a match than a paper dollar bill
They have all the guns, all we are is flesh and blood
But we will multiply our numbers and drown them in our flood

They say they will incorporate the world
Over my dead body, over my dead body,
over my dead body, over mine

They have all the power, that's what they say
But we will turn those tables, take their power away
We will not be dissuaded and we will not turn around
We will face the barricades and we will tear them down

They say they will incorporate the world
Over my dead body, over my dead body,
over my dead body, over mine

You can call me a fool, that's alright with me
But I will live to see this good round world breaking free
