ICOIL: Lyrics - The Answer Theyre Not Gonna Send

The Answer, They're Not Going to Send 
(Sing Roughly to the toon of Blowin' in the wind)

How many times must I raise my hand,
Before they allow me to speak?
How many times will they run away,
Because they know their position is weak?
How many minutes will they modify,
While people in nursing homes die?

The answer my friends, Im asking them to say
The answer Im asking them to say

How many times must one make a request,
Before it isnt ignored?
How many people are they gonna suppress
Just for their own personal reward?

The answer my friend, theyre not gonna send
The answer theyre not gonna send

How many times must ICOIL lie,
Before someone makes them stop?
And how many times will they beat people up
Before enough is enough?
And how many times will they call the police,
On the people they don't want to hear?

The answer my friend, they're not gonna send, 
The answer they're not gonna send.

How many times must the people cry out
Before there is someone to hear?
Yes, and how many times must the laws be broke,
Before the corruption is clear?
Yes, and how much longer will the people be suppressed,
While council members get their gold?

The answer my friend, they're not gonna send, 
The answer they're not gonna send.
 
How many videos will be up online,
Before the problem is clear?
Yes and many people will be slandered
to stop what the state fears?
Yes and how many times will the feds turn their heads,
Before they admit we are right?

The answer my friend, theyre not gonna send
The answer theyre not gonna send

How many times must one make a request,
Before it isnt ignored?
How many people will the council suppress
For their own reward?

The answer my friend, theyre not gonna send
The answer theyre not gonna send

So how many times must the people raise thier hands,
Before they allow them to speak?
And how many times will the council run away,
Because they know their position is weak?
How many minutes will they modify,
While people in nursing homes die?

The answers my friends, theyre not gonna send
The answers theyre not gonna send
