Lyrics

Rockland

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.

Hold back the edges of your gowns

You asked for hell

Elected clowns

With no dissent for how things are

Or gently pushed beneath a car

Our leaders are assassins friends

And we aren't needed for their ends

No industry or open wars

So cut health care and lock the doors

But I'm with you if you're with me

Take my hand

I'm with you in Rockland

I'm with you in Rockland

And don't it make you want to howl.

So where's the champion of Mary Queen O'Scots

And liberty and chivalry

To damn the MI5 for C.N.D.

I need someone with a memory

Of what we used to mean by morally

And all we can find is old Jack Ruby

When the victor re-writes history

The napalm lights his vanity

I'm with you if you're with me

Take my hand

I'm with you in Rockland

I'm with you in Rockland

And don't it make you want to howl.

Josephine the singer called

She made a comeback in the psychiatric ward

Where the shock is mightier than the sword

And the adverts obscure the black-board

And chalk is something we can't afford

And the only class is how to be bored

But my hopes are still on the soul horse

This is my Woody for president waltz

Cus I'm with you if you're with me

Take my hand

I'm with you in Rockland

I'm with you in Rockland

And don't it make you want to howl
