You Better Not Cry - Music and Lyrics by Rich La Bonté. Copyright © 2017 Rich La Bonté (BMI). All Rights Reserved.

(No you better not)
Cry for sympathy, for victims of the might
Cry for all of those denied their basic right.

(No you better not)
Cry for ignorance, for leaving some behind.
Cry for diligence and of a single mind.

No you better not
Cry.

(No you better not)
Cry for philistines, for liars and for frauds
Cry for politicians and their loyal dogs.

No you better not
Cry.

No you better not
Cry.

(No you better not)
Cry for all that die in battle
Fought for what was fair
Cry for suffering emphysemics
Cannot breathe our air
Cry for displaced, misplaced persons
Starving and ignored
Cry for military peacocks
Marching into war

(No you better not)
Cry for alabaster fields of waving grain
Cry for burning absolution in the rain.
