Sing Me a Song With Social Significance — текст песни (Barbra Streisand)

Im tired of moon-songs of star and of june songs,

They simply make me nap

And ditties romantic drive me nearly frantic

I think theyre all full of pap



Historys making, nations are quaking

Why sing of stars above

For while we are waiting father times creating

New things to be singing of



Sing me a song with social significance

All other tunes are taboo

I want a ditty with heat in it,

Appealing with feeling and meat in it!



Sing me a song with social significance

Or you can sing til youre blue

Let meaning shine from evry line

Or I wont love you



Sing me of wars and sing me of breadlines

Tell me of front page news

Sing me of strikes and last minute headlines

Dress your observation in syncopation!



Sing me a song with social significance

Theres nothing else that will do

It must get hot with what is what

Or I wont love you.



I want a song thats satirical

And putting the mere into miracle

It must be packed with social fact

Or I wont love you



Sing me of kings and confrences martial

Tell me of mills and mines

Sing me of courts that arent impartial

Whats to be done with em tell me in rhythm



Sing me a song with social significance

Theres nothing else that will do

It must be tense with common sense

Or I wont love you.
