(Won’t You Please Come Out To) Crawford

[dxstone]

(Won’t You Please Come Out To) Crawford
(to the tune of Chicago by Graham Nash - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young)

Now our mother's bound and gagged
And they've left her in a ditch
Won't you please come out to Crawford, come and shout
In a land that's known as Freedom
How can life be such a bitch?
Won't you please come out to Crawford--that’s what freedom is about!
We can change the world
Rearrange the world
It's dying
It's dying - to get better

Politicians, wake the fuck up
And join the human race
Won't you please speak out for Cindy--show some spine
Don't ask George to help you
'Cause he'll turn the other face
Won't you please come out to Crawford--no one else can speak your mind

We can change the world
Rearrange the world
It's dying - if you believe in justice
It's dying - and if you believe in freedom
It's dying - let EVERYONE live their own life
It's dying - wars and endless fences, who needs ‘em?
Open up the door

Somehow we must all break free
From these neo-nazi geeks
Won't you please come out to Crawford, find a ride
Drop everything you’re doing
Come and stay a couple weeks
Won't you please come out to Crawford, or else join the other side!

We can save--yes, we can save our own lives
While the neocons share and shave their wives
We’re dying-if you don’t think so, good luck
We’re dying-what in the bloody freakin' fuck?
We’re dying-let The Man know you’re out there
We’re dying-Who’s in charge? Who’s leading this nation?
Show these fucks the door!!!

8. thank you for doing the lyrics to that song that I could not compose

I have had "Chicago" in my mind all day, driving back and forth from Ft Worth to Crawford. Just couldn't get the words for the current situation going in my head. Thank you again.

I was hot
I was sweaty
I was thirsty
I was amazed

Didn't get to meet Cindy but saw her and heard her speak
Ate food brought by Iraqi-Americans (wonderful)
Met great people


I am very glad I went

My two doors down neighbor thanked me for going when I got home.

[dxstone]

9. Thank YOU, yellowdog...

For getting out there and representin'...
We've got to make the world look more closely at this; everything else will come naturally from that...
Thanx for the kind words as well, m'friend...
:toast:
And that's to ALL of you!
