The Revolution Kind
I’m glad I’m here just like you And if I say a thing or two That doesn’t mean I’m all that mad Or that I think this place is bad We got a land, this land is free And no one loves it more than me But a man’s got a right to talk about What’s on his mind That doesn’t necessarily Mean he’s the revolution kind Destruction’s near we heard the moans But I got conclusions of my own And I got some kids I have to teach That if somebody makes a speech And what he says, you don’t agree Just let him scream the man is free ’Cause a man’s got a right to talk about What’s on his mind That doesn’t necessarily Mean he’s the revolution kind These words have all been said before By men who had to go to war By men who cried and kissed their wives By men who had to give their life By better men, my friend, than me That’s why this land we have is free ’Cause a man’s got a right to talk about What’s on his mind That doesn’t necessarily Mean he’s the revolution kind Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no —Sonny Bono, 1965 |
