Jackson-Kent Blues

I was down in nashville just payin my dues
Headed for ohio when i read the news
bout the people demonstrating gainst the presidents views
Four were shot down by the national guard troops
Just like uncle sam i put on my fighting shoes
School shot down cause theres no more to lose
Now were headed to d.c. two by twos
Cause those low down, profound, killin four blues
Lookin for my congressman to make it well known
But the politicians already wont answer his telephone
Making in his office while theyre shooting kids down at home
Worried about the voters but he wont be worried long
Silent majority still glued to the tube
Say cia aint lookin, fbi come unglued
Shot some more in jackson just to show the world what they can do
While were marching to d.c. cause theres too much to do
Give peace a chance
Give peace a chance
Theres no turnin back my friend
Theres no turnin back
When the president said that the tear gas is gone
The armys pulled out leavin blood on the ground
The streets are empty and the cryings died down
You can be president if no ones around
Just like kow kow, youve heard it before
Get back gangster, dont you open that door
Space cowboys back to tell you the score
Nothing any good is gonna come from a war
Got those low down, profound, killin four blues
Give peace a chance
Give peace a chance
Give peace a chance
