From checkin' out the way the news
men say they get the dirt
Before the guys on channel so- and-

so, further they assert
That any show they'll interrupt
To bring you news if it comes up

They say that if the place blows up
They'll be the first to tell
Because the boys they got downtown

are workin' hard and doin' swell
G
And if anybody gets the news
A
Before it hits the street they say that
no one blabs it faster

Their coverage can't be beat

Gets machine- gunned from her seat
They'll send some joker with a
brownie and you'll see it all complete

Watched the mob just turn
and bite 'em
A
And they say it served 'em right
Because a few of them are white

And it's the same across the nation,
black and white discrimination
Yellin' "you can't understand me!"

An d all that other jazz
they hand me

In the papers and TV and all that
mass stupidity
G
That seems to grow more every day

'Cause the color of your skin
Just don't appeal to him
No matter if it's black or white because

he's out for blood tonight

ain't like the fire in the heart
Em
And in the eyes of all these people
G
don't you know that this could start?
Em
On any street, in any town, in any
B
state if any clown
G
Decides that now's the time to fight
For some ideal he thinks is right
And if a million more agree,

there ain't no great society
As it applies to you and me
G
C
Em
Our country isn't free

Is just a lousy janitor
Unless your uncle owns a store

Just won't amount to nothin' more

Than watchin' rats go across the floor
B
And make up songs about
being poor
Blow your harmonica, son!
