The Ballad Of Timothy Leary
Well the truth comes and the shit begins to fly. The man seemed so sincere even his lips moved. Now the money's gone and the bombs begin to fly. Bodies scattered everywhere and no one's asking why
Timothy Leary said to me, "tune in, turn on and question authority"
Don't listen to them without resistence. You are the captain of your own existence. Feeling free? Well look all around you. That's the sound of the man coming down on you. Yeah, you better run now, take some cover. He's coming down on you my sisters and brothers
With a club like ours, you and me, we should get together and let everybody be free. With a club like ours, we won't need no presidents
Well the corporateers and the politicians will smile at you, Saying how they wanna help the poor while they're wearing these two thousand dollar suits. Their bellies are full and there words are filled with lies, lies and more lies. Uncle Sam's the only one to ever drop the atom bomb and I can still hear all them mama's cry.
Timothy Leary said to me, "tune in, turn on and question authority". Don't listen to them without resistence. You are the captain of your own existence Feeling free? Well look all around you, that's the sound of the walls coming down 'round you. People gettin' louder...Seek a little justice They're taking a look at all this freedom among us. You know like color t.v.'s, stereo's, mama's got new shoes and baby's got new clothes. And there are people going hungry, children sleeping in shelters, when all we ever really needed was some peace in our lives
I aint tryin' to bring you down, but, someone's gotta bring it out. So,here it is in a song for you right now.With a club like ours, you and me we should get together and let everybody be free. With a club like ours, we won't need no presidents.
People get louder...people get louder...people get louder
