Met myself a comin´ county welfare line. I was feelin´ strung out, Hung out on the line. Saw myself a goin´, down to war in June. All I want, All I want is to write myself a tune. [Chorus:] Wrote a song for ev´ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for ev´ryone And I couldn´t even talk to you.
Got myself arrested, Wound me up in jail. Richmond ´bout to blow up, communication failed. If you see the answer, now´s the time to say. All I want, All I want is to get you down to pray.
[Chorus x2]
Saw the people standin´ thousand years in chains. Somebody said it´s diff´rent now, look, it´s just the same. Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth. They could have saved a million people, How can I tell you?
[Chorus x3]
