Song lyrics for acoustic guitar
(The chords are G D A)
Hey mister president,
Thanks for dropping by
I hope you know that I
Wanted you to try and break us free
And
Hey mister president
Did you know that I have sent
A letter to our government
But it was never relevant or read to you
And
Hey mister government
Thank you for the times
And Thank you for my dimes
And thank you fr'all the lies
But it's just a fools game anyhow
But
Hey mister senator
I hope your feeling proud
With your head up in clouds
a wife you sleep around
Pictured is a man who looks just like you
But
Hey mister president
I hope you play my song
On the white houses front lawn
And that it makes you think about
What it means
To be
Counted on for change
But not a pocket full of dimes
Or building walls or speeding fines
Just a voice to keep my time
And we will all hold hands and sing
with a voice that is the meaning
Of tomorrow
"...a voice that is the meaning..."
I doubt the Prez will join us also, but we need an anthem. This kinda works! "fr'all" makes me think: poetic justice fr'all" Ha! - NICE!
I
guess I just was optimistic that people can learn to find a common ground that’s not politico-centric.
wouldn’t that be a trip?

The protest song is a genre. Peace and civil rights, anti-police brutality, women's rights...Joan Baez, Dylan's lyrics, Richie Havens (who came to Detroit Jazz Festival the year before he died).. Even Elvis got on the bandwagon - amazing. Powerful genre and having been at war or in police actions, UN backed aggressions over 50 year, they are welcome and necessary. Give peace a chance. - slc
