THE PROTEST MAN
A pipeline has burst at the seams
Another hippie has climbed up a tree
What we all need is a protest song
The answer’s more boots on the ground
A boy doesn’t move in the water face down
Ain’t it something that we can’t get along?
The Protest Man doesn’t believe
In prayers, thoughts or hashtags or any such things
What he will do is pick up his guitar
He’ll sing a song for the poor and the aged and the trees
La, La’s…
School children pumped full of lead
Missiles treat concrete like pieces of bread
Can you even stand to watch the news?
The Protest Man doesn’t believe
In prayers, thoughts or hashtags or any such things
What he will do is pick up his guitar
He’ll sing a song for the poor and the aged and the trees
La, La’s…
He’ll sing a song for the whales and the sick and the bees
La, La’s…
