Jackson-kent Blues Lyrics

Jackson-kent Blues

I was down in Nashville just payin' my duesHeaded for Ohio when I read the
news'Bout the people demonstrating 'gainst the President's viewsFour were shot
down by the National Guard troopsJust like Uncle Sam I put on my fighting
shoesSchool shot down cause there's no more to loseNow we're headed to D.C. two
by twosCause those low down, profound, killin' four blues
Lookin' for my Congressman to make it well knownBut the politicians already
won't answer his telephoneMaking in his office while they're shooting kids down
at homeWorried about the voters but he won't be worried long
Silent majority still glued to the tubeSay CIA ain't lookin', FBI come
ungluedShot some more in Jackson just to show the world what they can doWhile
we're marching to D.C. cause there's too much to do
Give peace a chanceGive peace a chanceThere's no turnin' back my friendThere's
no turnin' back
When the President said that the tear gas is goneThe army's pulled out leavin'
blood on the groundThe streets are empty and the crying's died downYou can be
President if no one's aroundJust like Kow Kow, you've heard it beforeGet back
gangster, don't you open that doorSpace Cowboy's back to tell you the
scoreNothing any good is gonna come from a warGot those low down, profound,
killin' four blues
Give peace a chanceGive peace a chanceGive peace a chance
