Tom Lehrer - Folk Song Army

We are the Folk Song Army:

Everyone of us cares.

We all hate poverty, war, and injustice,

Unlike the rest of you squares.

There are innocuous folk songs, yeah,

But we regard 'em with scorn.

The folks who sing them have no social conscience:

Why, they don't even care if Jimmy crack corn.

If you feel dissatisfaction,

Strum your frustrations away.

Some people may prefer action,

But give me a folk song any old day.

The tune don't have to be clever,

And it don't matter if you put a couple of extra syllables into a line.

It sounds more ethic if it ain't good English,

And it don't even gotta rhyme... excuse me, rhyne.

Remember the war against Franco:

That's the time where each of us belongs.

Though he may have won all the battles,

We had all the good songs!

So join in the folk song army.

Guitars are the weapons we bring

To the fight against poverty, war, and injustice.

Ready... Aim... Sing!!!

Johnny Hates Jazz - Shattered Dreams, on 1st Wave... not a channel I normally listen to, but my song-seek for Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World got me on this channel and I never got around to changing it.

Just went into The Clash - I Fought the Law...
