S.J. Tucker - Mandolin Holy Man lyrics

Nine old friends drove cross-country On a mission of blessing and liberty Geared up in the morning and left right there To sing at the rally in Farragut Square They can put up a fence and keep out the crowd But you can't fence in a wall of sound So we headed downtown to serve it up loud Got pretty wet but it didn't bring us down. Chorus: METRO into Washington Gonna rock the national phallus down Drumming at the White House in the rain And we won't let up until they let us in Me and the mandolin holy man Me and the mandolin holy man Walking and walking and walking and walking And walking and walking the long way round To the giant chalice in the middle of town Better believe our time's well spent Throwing holy water at the monument Gonna drum all night, let em throw us in jail Rockin the Lincoln memorial Chorus: METRO into Washington... The crowd was all smiles for the fireworks show We were right there, letting rhythm go With all the pictures people snapped Prob'ly see ourselves tomorrow on the internet Sometimes you do good that you'll never see Blasting out negativity Of the overthrow that'll surely come Bring it all back to a goatskin drum Chorus: METRO into Washington... So it's all the way home on the orange line The whole band of gypsies and dr. sunshine Victory 100 smiles at a time And a story to tell for the rest of our lives We did what we set out to do Made a lot of people happy, too That's whatcha get when you lend a hand To the likes of the mandolin holy man This is land is your land, this land is my land Me and the mandolin holy man Chorus: METRO into Washington... METRO'd into Washington We rocked the national phallus down Drummed at the White House in the rain And we never let up, soaked to the skin Maybe next year we'll do it again! Spinners and satyrs and kittens and drummers and ryan... And me and the mandolin holy man Me and the mandolin holy man This land is your land, this land is my land Me and the mandolin holy man
