G             D       C              G
Met myself a coming, county welfare line.
                 C         G               D
I was feeling strung out, hung out on the line.
G             D      Em             C
Saw myself a going, down to war in June.
G            D                   C             G
What I want, all I want, is to write myself a tune.

Chorus:
C                G
Wrote a song for everyone,
C                  G
Wrote a song for truth.
C                G        Em
Wrote a song for everyone,
        C                     G
when 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 - x2

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

Chorus - x3
