Jackson-Kent Blues — текст песни (Steve Miller Band)

I was down in Nashville just payin` my duesHeaded for Ohio when
I read the news`Bout the people demonstrating `gainst the President`s
viewsFour were shot down by the National Guard troopsJust like
Uncle Sam I put on my fighting shoesSchool shot down cause there`s
no more to loseNow we`re headed to D.C. two by twosCause those
low down, profound, killin` four blues
Lookin` for my Congressman to make it well knownBut the politicians
already won`t answer his telephoneMaking in his office while
they`re shooting kids down at homeWorried about the voters but
he won`t be worried long
Silent majority still glued to the tubeSay CIA ain`t lookin`,
FBI come ungluedShot some more in Jackson just to show the world
what they can doWhile we`re marching to D.C. cause there`s too
much to do
Give peace a chanceGive peace a chanceThere`s no turnin` back
my friendThere`s no turnin` back
When the President said that the tear gas is goneThe army`s pulled
out leavin` blood on the groundThe streets are empty and the
crying`s died downYou can be President if no one`s aroundJust
like Kow Kow, you`ve heard it beforeGet back gangster, don`t
you open that doorSpace Cowboy`s back to tell you the scoreNothing
any good is gonna come from a warGot those low down, profound,
killin` four blues
Give peace a chanceGive peace a chanceGive peace a chance
