I was down in Nashville land payin' my dues
|
Headed for Ohio when I read the news
|
'Bout the people demonstrating 'gainst the President's views
|
Four were shot down by the National Guard troops
|
Just like Uncle Sam I put on my fighting shoes
|
School shot down cause there's no more to lose
|
Now we're headed to D.C. two by twos
|
With those low down, profound, killin' four blues
|
|
Lookin' for my Congressman to make it all well known
|
But the politicians not in, won't answer his telephone
|
Making in his office while they're shooting kids down at home
|
Worried about the voters but he won't be there long
|
|
Silent majority still glued to the tube
|
Say CIA ain't lookin', FBI come unglued
|
Shot some more in Jackson just to show the world what they can do
|
While we're marching to D.C. cause there's too much to do
|
|
Give peace a chance
|
Give peace a chance
|
There's no turnin' back my friend
|
There's no turnin' back
|
|
When the President said that the tear gas is gone
|
The army's pulled out leavin' blood on the ground
|
The streets are all empty and the crying's died down
|
You can be President if no one's around
|
Just like Kow Kow, you've heard it before
|
Get back gangster, don't you open that door
|
Space Cowboy's back to tell you the score
|
Nothing any good has ever come of a war
|
Got those low down, profound, killin' four blues
|
|
Give peace a chance
|
Give peace a chance
|
Give peace a chance
|
