Telegraph
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.
Chorus:
I've got a telegraph in my hand.
Words on paper, written in sand.
We've got telegraph, right across this land.
It doesn't mean a damn thing.
We don't understand.
But who needs telegraph anyway?
Repeat Chorus
We've got telegraph, right across this land.
It doesn't mean a damn thing.
We don't understand, we never understand!
God's got a telegraph nn his side.
It makes Him powerful, gives Him pride.
Even in America, God bless America!
They understand the value of the telegraph.
