Carpenter Mary Chapin - On With The Song lyrics

This isn't for the ones who blindly follow Jingoistic bumper stickers telling you To love it or leave it and you'd better love Jesus And get out of the way of the Red, White and Blue This isn't for the ones who buy their six-packs At the 7-Eleven where the clerk makes change Whose accent makes clear he sure ain't from here They call him a camel jockey instead of his name No, this is for the ones who stand their ground When the lines in the sand get deeper When the whole world seems to be upside down And the shots being taken get cheaper, cheaper This isn't for the ones who would gladly swallow Everything their leader would have them know Bowing and kissing while the truth goes missing "Bring it on," he crows, putting on his big show This isn't for the man who can't count the bodies Can't comfort the families, can't say when he's wrong Playing 'I'm the decider' like some sort of Messiah While another day pa**es and a hundred souls gone No, this is for the ones who stand their ground When the lines in the sand get deeper When the whole world seems to be upside down And the shots being taken get cheaper, cheaper This is for the ones that I see above me Three little stars in a great big sky Light for the world and hope for the weary, they say This isn't for the ones with their radio signal Calling for bonfires and boycotts, they rave Exhorting their listeners to spit on the sinners While counting the bucks of advertising, they'll say This isn't for you and you know who you are So just do what you want 'cause I know that you can But I gotta be true to myself and to you So on with the song, I don't give a damn
