Jon the Generator (Lp Version) - Maria Muldaur
Frustration has come so much into fashion
I believe it's gonna spread all over the nation
Father to mother
Sister to brother
People don't like the habit of mistrusting each other
But who's that coming
John the generator
Who's that coming
John John John
Who's that coming
John the generator ohh
John the generator with his work clothes on
They say for every action there is a reaction
I believe that our children gonna make a retraction
People wanting reasons people asking questions
People getting tested when they get no suggestions
He's been with the miner
He's seen the shoeshiner
The red man the poor man the souls of this land
He sees if you've got the millions and the millions got you
He sees a whole lot of people with nothing to do
But who's that coming
John the generator
Oh who's that coming
John John John
Who's that coming
John the generator ohh
John the generator with his work clothes on
Who's that coming
John the generator
Who's that coming
John John John
Who's that coming
John the generator ohh
John the generator with this work clothes on
Neighbor telling neighbor
Brother telling sister
Stranger telling stranger
Missus telling the mister
They bought him and they caught him
They deported him and slaughtered him
They crissed him and they crossed him
But we ain't never lost him
Who's that coming
John the generator
Who's that coming
John John John oh
Who's that coming
John the generator ohh
John the generator with his work clothes on
Who's that coming
John the generator
Who's that coming
John John John
Who's that coming
John the generator ohh
John the generator with his work clothes on
Who's that coming
John the generator
Who's that coming
John the generator
Who's that coming
John the generator
John the generator with his work
