[00:17.34]Happy Birthday to you
[00:22.48]Happy Birthday to you
[00:27.77]Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
[00:33.18]Happy Birthday to you
[00:42.50]A few years ago on my birthday
[00:48.12]I had just become twenty-one (I remember)
[00:53.09]I had a lot to live, said I had a lot to give
[00:59.13]Til a man comes to give me a gun
[01:03.71]And though that war he sent me to didn't claim me
[01:08.77]If I'm bitter don't blame me
[01:11.62]It's just my Soul responding
[01:17.58]Don't you try to tell me I'm un-patriotic
[01:22.19]I deserve an explanation
[01:27.65]I can't help but wonder
[01:30.68]If you really got it
[01:33.04]It's just my Soul responding, Soul responding, Soul responding...
[02:10.98]This land once belonged to my father
[02:15.48]And to his father before him too
[02:20.72]Let me tell you now, I'm on a reservation
[02:23.70]Living in a state of degradation
[02:27.05]What's a Soul suppose to do
[02:31.42]Cause I want out
[02:33.01]My human rights
[02:34.14]Are now in doubt
[02:36.74]When it's just my Soul responding
[02:41.99]To seeing little hungry children in the Land of Plenty
[02:47.62]Just my Soul responding
[02:52.84]To doing lots of needing
[02:55.97]But never having any
[02:58.00]It's just my Soul responding, Soul responding, Soul responding...
[03:30.36]I was born and raised in the ghetto
[03:35.52]On the run down side of the track
[03:40.52]And there are forces who do everything they can do
[03:45.84]To hold me back because my skin is black
[03:50.96]Oh, but more and more I mind
[03:53.17]Hell, It's about time
[03:56.51]It's just my Soul responding
[04:01.72]To being second-class in a land I helped to form
[04:07.35]Just my Soul responding
[04:10.98]To too many roaches and not enough heat to keep my babies warm
[04:18.07]In this land I helped to form
[04:20.75]I've got too many roaches, and not enough heat to keep my babies warm
[04:28.75]It's just my Soul responding, Soul responding, Soul responding, Soul responding
[04:44.52]It's just my Soul...
[04:53.19]Soul responding...
