Editorial Lyrics

Paul Davis Editorial

Nixon's gone and lost his throne
Are we so righteous while he is so wrong?
Elephants dying while donkeys are thriving
Biblical prophecies are coming true
The Internal Revenu has taken my revenue
Can I come stay with you a week or two?

Why are we growing so old so fast?
Selling our souls for a tank of gas
The world keeps enlarging
and babies are starving
While we trade our food stamps
for an ounce of dope
Look at the refugees
They're all down on their knees
Praying to God for an ounce of hope

How can we stand on our own two feet?
Nuclear power has made us weak
Can we start living for what it's worth?
Handshakes in space don't mean peace on Earth
The song of the world to be
has run out of melody
Can you come pray with me a week or two?
