about

The assignment this week comes from AG, and he’s really stepping in it:
"Use the phrase "take a knee" in your song. Any style and does not have to be political at all.”

lyrics

Take a knee for Rita
Take some honey if you want something sweeter
To get you through the day you might have had

Take a knee for peace
Take a pill if you need release
From the story that you might have thought you'd planned

Before you run for cover you should know that there's no other
Time or place for you to make a stand
And if you ever wonder 'bout this spell that you are under
Open up and question why you ran

Take a knee for Rita
Take a look inside if you stop believin'
In the things that used to bring you joy

Take a knee in protest
Take a look, decide if we're the best
That we can be and, if not, make some noise

Before you run for cover you should know that there's no other
Time or place for you to make a stand
And if you ever wonder 'bout this spell that you are under
Open up and question why you ran
