Wrote a song for everyone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Met myself a comin' county welfare line
I was feelin' strung out, Hung out on the line
Saw myself a goin', down to war in June
All I want, all I want is to write myself a tune
CHORUS:
Wrote a song for everyone,
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you
Got myself arrested, wound me up in jail
Richmond 'bout to blow up, communication failed
If you see the answer, now's the time to say
All I want, all I want is to get you down to pray
CHORUS
Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains
Somebody said it's different now, look, it's just the same
Perhaps spin the message, round and round the truth
They could have saved a million people, how can I tell you?
CHORUS
CHORUS
