america needs you, harry truman


once again: an old song is just as timely today. was listening to the band chicago earlier this afternoon. this song came out on "chicago VIII" in 1975, written by robert lamm:



America needs you

Harry Truman

Harry could you please come home

Things are looking bad

I know you would be mad

To see your favorite men

Prevail upon the land you love


America's wondering

How we got here

Harry all we get is lies

We're gettin' safer cars

Rocket ships to mars

From men who'd sell us out

To get themselves a piece of power


We'd love to hear you speak your mind

In plain and simple ways

Call a spade a spade

Like you did back in the days

You would play piano

Each morning walk a mile

Speak of what was going down

With honesty and style


America's calling

Harry Truman

Harry you know what to do

The world is turnin' round and losin' lots of ground

Oh Harry is there something we can do to save the land we love

Oh woah woah woah


America's calling

Harry Truman

Harry you know what to do

The world is turnin' round

And losin' lots of ground

Harry is there something we can do to save the land we love



'nuff said.
