Jackson-Kent Blues |
I was down in Nashville just 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 |
Cause those low down, profound, killin' four blues |
Lookin' for my Congressman to make it well known |
But the politicians already 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 worried 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 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 is gonna come from a war |
Got those low down, profound, killin' four blues |
Give peace a chance |
Give peace a chance |
Give peace a chance |
