I wasted my twenties in submission
I thought I was outside the system
I was rolling over for wealth and power
As if they really cared about me
The kids are just getting started
They've only just learned how to howl
And most of them throw in the towel
'Bout the time that they turn twenty three
If you've got the taste for transcendence
That translates your love into action
And participate in the fight now
For a creed you can truly believe
It is time for the evening prayer
Time to do justice for the poor
It is time for the evening prayer
Time to do justice for the poor
Tonight you've got fire in your bloodstream
Your frail human heart is still pumping
Then make this one night you remember
A note you'll deliver by hand
And when you get up in the morning
Let no man return it to sender
And pour gasoline on the embers
Give yourself a physical record
Deliver that fire in the real world
And tell them that E Furman sent ya
It is time for the evening prayer
Time to do justice for the poor
It is time for the evening prayer
Time to do justice for the poor
