Wrote A Song For Everyone

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 CHORUS: 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 CHORUS Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains Somebody said it's different now, look, it's just the same Perhaps spin the message, round and round the truth They could have saved a million people, how can I tell you?
