Wandrin' Ghost - The Strawberry Revolution Lyrics

Oh say there can you see my only friend
I've been stuck inside this tent for many days and now it's raining
Why don't they hear our pleads?
Why don't they come out on their knees and beg to understand
Our demonstrating?
Well I got tired of waiting so I picked up a guitar and wrote a song that sounds like all the rest
It might be the longest shot but honestly it's all I got to give you hope and light a fire in Your
Chest
And that's the way it started
The Strawberry Revolution
The Strawberry Revolution
Oh can you see the drones up in the sky?
Oh no, they're too high
Before you know it'll snow white phosphorus
The governmental snakes have melded with the private banks and what they legislate We know
Is not for us
The cameras they will catch you
The microphones will hear
All the things you're doing with your wife
The state of education has fractured the entire nation
Now I'll be indentured all my life
We're bleeding out the earth not knowing what it's truly worth
But few are still convinced despite
The drought
Instead they put their care in shiny toys and software
Oh nothing seems to ease my growing doubt
Except for one thing
The Strawberry Revolution
The Strawberry Revolution

It's for those of you who truly want to free your minds
And those who want no children left behind
And for those of you who care not for prophecies of doom
Or what goes on in someone else's bedroom
And for those of you so sick of living social lies
Where trivial connections have frayed our deepest ties
For we don't want the endless war to start
And together we can surely end the fasting of the heart
So come join
The Strawberry Revolution
The Strawberry Revolution
The Strawberry Revolution
The Strawberry Revolution
