We gotta stand a little closer to what it is we’re leanin’ on

Who was it that first said it? Could it be he could be wrong

 About the pilgrims and the natives

Having dinner on the lawn?

 I think if I was ever king I would buy a censorship

Where the only books upon the shelves Were the ones that I had written

 Oh, and put them up in borders, set my photo down the spine

 To tell the story of the livin’ without forgettin’ those who’d died

 And I would die a happy man ‘Cause I did the best that I could do

 To find a better way of leading, Should we leave that up to you?

Who was the one that said it, Yeah the one who said it best?

 You got to L-O-V-E your neighbors, at least the ones who are still left

And we gotta stand a little closer

To the lessons that we’ve learned

Is it just a premonition?

Could we really get ourselves both burned?

I’ve been sent here on a mission to find what we agree upon

We don’t agree about September,

Could we agree on Vietnam?

I think if I was ever publisher I’d buy a pirate ship

Where the mission at each position is to shoot and to click

Clean the photos up a little, censor the ship out of it

So when we put it up in borders, turn a profit on the trip

Charge the public for the overhead of 1492

And if they need a better reason tell them we got livin’ proof

And I would die a happy man

‘Cause I did the best that I could do

To find a better way of leading,

Should we leave that up to you

Who was it that said it?

Yeah that’s what I’m trying to say

You got to L-O-V-E your neighbors, at least the ones that live today

Hey, hey
