Iran & Michael Jackson - Young Folk - RARE

There has been a shift in news coverage since Michael Jackson's passing. Let's pay tribute to his work while remembering the brave Iranian people as they fight for democracy.

This is an old song by the Jackson 5 but it fits the current climate perfectly.

Young Folks - The Jackson 5

Lyrics:

You better make a way for the young folks

Here we come, and were so alive.
Were here for business buddy,and dont wont no jive.
Brighter tomorrows are in our eyes
You better make a way for the young folks
Ooh, yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah

We say yes
and you say no
We ask you why
and you close the door
My old friend I thought you knew by now, yeah
You cant do that to the young folks
Oh, no,no,no,no

You might not like it
but Ive got to tell you
Ive got to tell you, na na, yeah yeah.
You better make a way for the young folks
Ooh, yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah

Were marching with signs
Were standing in lines, yeah, yeah
Protesting your rights
to turn out the lights in our lives
Heres the deal, accept it if you will
Were coming on strong, yeah
Its our turn to build
My old friend, I thought you knew by now, yeah
You gotta make a way for the young folks
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah

You may not like it, but Ive got to tell you
I've got to tell you, oh, yeah,yeah,yeah
You better make a way, you better make a way
you gotta make a way for the young folks, yeah, yeah
Oh,oh,yeah,yeah, ooh

You may not like it but Ive to tell you
Ive got to tell you, na na na na (fade)

I totally loved it. I read so many ridiculous things like "MJ's death overshadowed iran..."this is really ridiculous. we have a long way to go till freedom and we will certainly succeed. and we will remeber michael as someone who inspired human rights, change and freedom. I really love the vids of our people and MJ songs> they suit so well. thank you for this awesome vid.
