Hey stop listen
To a different rhythm
A change coming from afar
A tribe of people gently singing

Nine beats to the bar
Nine beats to the bar
Nine beats to the bar

Hey stop listen
To a different rhythm
A change coming from afar
A tribe of people gently singing

Nine beats to the bar
Nine beats to the bar
Nine beats to the bar

Your slick sick politics
Dividing by skin and blood and bricks
Throw the mud and then it sticks
But we see through your tricks
Deleting your domains

Nine beats to the bar
Nine beats to the bar
Nine beats to the bar

All you poor in spirit be blessed
All of you who mourn be blessed
All of you meek be blessed
All of you righteous be blessed
All you merciful be blessed
All you pure of heart be blessed
All of you peacemakers be blessed
All you persecuted be blessed

Nine beats to the bar
Nine beats to the bar
Nine beats to the bar
