We've got to stand a little closer to |
|
what it is we're leaning on, |
|
Who was it that first said it? |
|
Could it be he could be wrong |
|
about the pilgrims and the natives |
|
having dinner on the lawn? |
|
I think if I was ever king |
|
I'd buy a censorship where the only books |
|
upon the shelves were the ones |
|
that I had read. Open 'em up at borders, |
|
send my photo down the spine to tell |
|
the story of the living |
|
without forgetting those who died. |
|
And I would die a happy man 'cause |
|
I did the best that I could do |
|
to find a better way of leavin' should |
|
we leave that up to you. |
|
Who was it that first said it? |
|
Yea, the one who said it best: |
|
you've got to L-O-V-E your neighbors, |
|
at least the ones who are still left! |
|
We've got to stand a little closer |
|
to the lessons that we've learned, |
|
is it just a premonition, |
|
could we really get ourselves (?) |
|
I've been sent here on a mission to find |
|
what we agreed upon- |
|
we don't agree about September, |
|
can we agree on Vietnam? |
|
I think if I was ever a publisher, |
|
I'd buy a pirate ship |
|
where the mission at each position |
|
is to shoot and to (?) |
|
clean the photos up a little, |
|
censor the ship out of it so |
|
I would put it up at borders, |
|
turn a profit on my trip. |
|
Charge the public for the overhead of 1492, |
|
and if they need a better reason |
|
tell 'em we got living proof. |
|
And I would die a happy man 'cause |
|
I did the best that I could do |
|
to find a better way of leavin' |
|
should we leave that up to you. |
|
Who was it that first said it, yea, |
|
that's what I'm trying to say, |
|
you've got to L-O-V-E your neighbors, |
|
at least the ones who live today. |
