BACK IN THE SIXTIES
BACK IN THE SIXTIES IN OUR TEENAGE PRIMEOUR PATHS COLLIDED, AND WE ALTERED TIME.
WE ROCKED WITH THE BEATLES AND THE ROLLING STONES,
LOVED JOHNNY CASH AND GOOD OL' GEORGE JONES
TIMES WERE A CHANGIN' ALL DOWN THE LINE
JOHN WAS DEAD, BUT BOBBY STILL LED,
AND MARTIN CHANGED THE WORLD IN HIS TIME.
WE LISTENED TO JOPLIN AND HENDRIX TOO,
WHILE NAM WAS KILLING THE BRAVE AND THE FEW
GOD BLESS THESE GUYS, THEY GAVE THEIR ALL'
AND THE USA DID NOT REWARD THEM AT ALL
LIFE ROCKED ON AND WE BECAME ONE,
THEN ALONG CAME A LITTLE BABYSON
WE WORKED HARD AND NEVER HAD MUCH MON'
BUT WE'D ADDED A DAUGHTER AND LIFE SHINED LIKE THE SUN.
YEARS HAVE PASSED BY AND THINGS ARE REALLY UPSIDE DOWN
THE WORLD CHANGED IN 01 WHEN THE TOWERS CAME DOWN
THE RICH ARE STILL RICH AND THE POOR STILL DOWNTRODDEN
IRAQ REPLACED NAM, WE STOPPED SADDAM
AND THE NEW NAME OF HATE IS CALLED BIN LADEN
THE OLD WALLS IN WASHINGTON HAVE TUMBLED DOWN
NOW A MAN NAMED BARACK IS THE NEW POWER IN TOWN
WHERE WILL IT GO NOW, ONLY GOD KNOWS, I JUST PRAY WE ARE ALL READY WHEN THE MIGHTY TRUMPET BLOWS
