We've got to stand a little closer to
what it is we're leaning on,
Who was it that first said it?
Could it be he could be wrong
about the pilgrims and the natives
having dinner on the lawn?
I think if I was ever king
I'd buy a censorship where the only books
upon the shelves were the ones
that I had read. Open 'em up at borders,
send my photo down the spine to tell
the story of the living
without forgetting those who died.
And I would die a happy man 'cause
I did the best that I could do
to find a better way of leavin' should
we leave that up to you.
Who was it that first said it?
Yea, the one who said it best:
you've got to L-O-V-E your neighbors,
at least the ones who are still left!
We've got to stand a little closer
to the lessons that we've learned,
is it just a premonition,
could we really get ourselves (?)
I've been sent here on a mission to find
what we agreed upon-
we don't agree about September,
can we agree on Vietnam?
I think if I was ever a publisher,
I'd buy a pirate ship
where the mission at each position
is to shoot and to (?)
clean the photos up a little,
censor the ship out of it so
I would put it up at borders,
turn a profit on my trip.
Charge the public for the overhead of 1492,
and if they need a better reason
tell 'em we got living proof.
And I would die a happy man 'cause
I did the best that I could do
to find a better way of leavin'
should we leave that up to you.
Who was it that first said it, yea,
that's what I'm trying to say,
you've got to L-O-V-E your neighbors,
at least the ones who live today.
