Song 6: Untuned Ears Hear Nothing but Discord

Lyrics
No more Emma and Sasha Now it’s just me Emma Goldman, victim of injustice Emma Goldman, factory slave Emma Goldman, powerless and weak Nothing but words words words words words! I left Russia for America I didn’t know: There is no America No free country Look around! I want liberation! That’s what it was for You and me and the money for the gun You and me and the gun High strung Like a violin string We weep and moan for life So relentless, so cruel So terribly inhuman In a desperate moment the string breaks Untuned ears hear nothing but discord But those who feel the agonized cry Understand its harmony; They hear in it the fulfillment Of the most compelling moment of human nature. ! I’m supposed to tell the world the truth Whether or not it’s ready to hear it Whether or not it makes any difference Whether or not you’re at my side I’m supposed to raise my voice and say That we're here to stand for our own freedom That the earth's not just for those who'll buy it That we’ll never, ever surrender Because our resolve won’t be blown to pieces The Cause won’t be ripped to shreds I will take to the streets And never forget The power of words words words words words And if one person’s freed from the imprisonment Of an unjust and vicious society Then this sacrifice we’re making Will bring forth such greatness That your life and my love Will have been just a small price to pay Such a huge, small price I love you, my Sasha Yours always Emma
