    If you were a cloud and you sailed up there,
    You'd sail on water as blue as air,
    You'd see me here in the fields and say,
    Doesn't the sky look green today?

    And the signs said:
    "The words of the Prophets are written on the subway walls,
    and tenament halls,
    and written, in the Sound
    of Silence."

    Come on generals, let's move fast
    your big chance has come at last
    now you can go out and get towel-heads
    cos the only good arab is the one that's dead and
    you know that peace can only be won when we've
    blown 'em all to kingdom come!
    And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for
    don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is in Iran
    And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
    ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee we're all gonna die!

    I’m passing sleeping cities
    Fading by degrees
    Not believing all I see to be so

    I’m flyin’ over backyards
    Country homes and ranches
    Watching life between the branches below

    And it’s hard to say
    Who you are these days
    But you run on anyway
    Don’t you baby?

    You keep running for another place
    To find that saving grace

    Southern trees bear strange fruit,
    Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
    Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
    Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

    Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
    The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
    Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
    Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

    Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
    For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
    For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
    Here is a strange and bitter crop.
    --Billie Holiday

    I'm stuck on the L.A. freeway,
    Got rain water in my boots,
    My thumbs done froze, can't feel my toes,
    I feel a little destitute.
    Wheels throwing water all over my axe
    And Mr. Jones won't lend me a hand.
    Up come two cats in a Cadillac
    And they say, "Won't you hop in, man ?"
    I went flying high
    All the way — all the way.

    Country Joe McDonald.

    We are all outlaws in the eyes of America.
    In order to survive we steal, cheat, lie, forge, fuck, hide, and deal.
    We are obscene, lawless, hideous, dangerous, dirty, violent, and young.

    Maybe it's the time of the year,
    And maybe it's the time of man.
    And I don't know who I am,
    But life is for learning

    Here is a song for you
    Ink on a pin
    Underneath the skin
    An empty space to fill in...

    .


    I'd just walk through those doors
    And wander
    Down the Champs Elysees
    Going cafe to cabaret
    Thinking how I'll feel when I find
    That very good friend of mine


    I was a free man in Paris
    I felt unfettered and alive
    Nobody was calling me up for favors
    No one's future to decide
    You know I'd go back there tomorrow
    But for the work I've taken on …
