Forty nine reasons all in a line
3
All of them good ones, all of them lies
4
Drifting with my lady, we're oldest of friends
5
Need a little work and there's fences to mend
6
Steady girl, she was my world
7
Till the drifter come, now she's gone
8
I let that man play his hand
9
I let them go, how was I to know
10
I'm down on my knees, nobody left to please
11
Now it's over, they left in the spring
12
Her and the drifter, lookin' for beautiful things
13
And I want you to clap your hands
14
Awwww Come on and clap your hands everybody
15
Yeah all right yeah all right yeah
16
And a little bit louder now
17
A little bit louder now
18
And a little bit louder now
19
Yes and a little bit louder now
20
Oh, you know there's something happening here
21
What it is ain't exactly clear
22
Yes there's a man with a gun over there
23
Telling me I got to be ware
24
And we got to stop children, what's that sound
25
Look what's going down
26
Ahh look what's going down
27
All right
28
What a field day, what a heat
29
Must have been a thousand people standing in the street
30
Singing songs and carrying signs
31
Come on, mostly say "hurray for our side"
32
And we got to stop children, what's that sound
33
Everybody look what's going down
34
All right, what's going down ah yes
35
Well it looks to me like there's a few politicians hanging around children
36
Purpertating some kind of myth on us all all right
37
Taking bout what a drag all the kids are yeah aahh
38
Cause they got the guts to get out in the strees and tell the truth every day aahh yes
39
Making it a little hot for them, you know all right
40
But you know that we're all just out there proving to
41
Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew and Richard Dailey and all them other,
42
well whatever you want to call them
43
That America is still the home of the brave oh yes it is
44
And you got to be brave children
45
How many is it that they shot down already?
46
Something like seventeen of us.
47
But you know we gotta do it
48
We gotta keep on keeping on
49
Because if we don't do it nobody else is gonna
50
But you know if we can't do it with a smile on our face
51
You know if we can't love in our hearts then children we ain't got no right to do it at all
52
Because it just means we ain't learned nothing yet
53
We're supposed to be some kind of different Ahhh
54
Whoa Whoa Whoa oh yes
55
And I don't know if I want white America to remember or to forget
56
That Jesus Christ was the first non-violent revolutionary
57
Dig it ohh Dig it ooh right on Dig it yeah
58
You know that paranoia it strikes deep
59
Into your life it's going to creep
60
And it starts when you're always afraid
61
Step out of line the man comes
62
He's going to shoot you down
63
We've got to stop hey now what's that sound
64
Yeah we've got to stop and what's that sound yes
65
We've got to stop hey children what's that sound
66
What's going down oh yeah
