Met myself a comin'
county welfare line
I was feelin' strung out
Hung out on the line

Saw myself a goin'
down to war in June
All I want
All I want
is to write myself a tune

Wrote a song For everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you

Got myself arrested
Wound me up in jail
Richmond 'bout to blow up
Communication failed

If you see the answer
now's the time to say
All I want
All I want
is to get you down to pray

Wrote a song For everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you

Saw the people standin'
thousand years in chains
Somebody said it's different now
Look, it's just the same

Pharoahs spin the message
round and round the truth
They could have saved a million people
How can I tell you?

Wrote a song For everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you
