    Some folks are born made to wave the flag
    Ooh, they're red, white and blue
    And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"
    Oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

    It ain't me, it ain't me
    I ain't no Senator's son
    It ain't me, it ain't me
    I ain't no fortunate one, no

    Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
    Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
    But when the tax men come to the door
    Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes

    It ain't me, it ain't me
    I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
    { From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/creedence-clearwater-revival-lyrics/fortunate-son-lyrics.html }
    It ain't me, it ain't me
    I ain't no fortunate one, no

    Yeah, some folks inherit star spangled eyes
    Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
    And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
    Oh, they only answer, more, more, more, yoh

    It ain't me, it ain't me
    I ain't no military son
    It ain't me, it ain't me
    I ain't no fortunate one

    It ain't me, it ain't me
    I ain't no fortunate one, no, no, no
    It ain't me, it ain't me
    I ain't no fortunate son, no, no

    FIVE MAN ELECTRICAL BAND
    "Signs"

    And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
    So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
    He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
    So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
    Whoa-oh-oh
    Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
    Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
    Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
    And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight
    So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives you
    the
    right?"
    "To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in"
    "If God was here he'd tell you to your face, Man, you're some kinda sinner"
    Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
    Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
    Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
    Now, hey you, mister, can't you read?
    You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
    You can't even watch, no you can't eat
    You ain't supposed to be here
    The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
    Ugh!
    [Lead Guitar]
    And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray"
    But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a
    penny to pay
    So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
    I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine."
    Wooo!
    Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
    Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
    Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
    Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
    Sign
    Sign, sign

    Fork

    In the light of day, came a foreign man
    With the devils eye, he said ‘Yes We Can’
    And you know it’s time, when the bells ring out
    What can I say, just scream and shout
    Go do it together, yes you can
    The devils eye
    When the cats go out, and you’re about to die
    A vision from the heavens, comes down from the sky

    When the clouds lift high, and your saviours coming
    A fork in the road, I don’t know why

    Get it together, when the shots ring out
    I love you forever, there is no doubt
    You can buy a ticket, to the other side
    We can speak together, that’s the way we slide

    Fork in the road, time to decide
    It’s the way they lie, to make us until we die

    Left, Right, there’s no way in the middle
    When the heat is gone, and there’s something going on
    Say it to me, we don’t know what’s going on
    Steal your thunder, like a saviour coming down from the sky

    The world turns around, and we don’t as why?
    As the shots ring out, we don’t ask why
    As they fight your wars, and you don’t ask why
    So they feed your fears, and you don’t ask why
    They steal your money, and you don’t ask why
    And take over your soul, and you don’t ask why
    What are we waiting for, a messenger to come down from the skies?

    There were men of which pages have been written
    Notes on a life of immeasurable bravery
    Irreplaceable because they denounced
    The most corrupt systems too often ignored
    Men or angels sent to the earth to fight a war
    Of feuds and of families scattered as so many balls
    On an island of blood that among so many wonders
    Between lemons and seashells… massacre sons and daughters
    Of a generation forced not to look
    To speak in a whisper
    To put out the light
    To comment with silence
    Every bullet in the air
    Every body in a ditch

    There were men that little by little
    Have left a mark with courage and with commitment
    With devotion against an organized institution
    Our thing…your thing… what is yours?
    It’s ours…the freedom to speak
    That our eyes were made to watch
    The mouth to speak, the ears listen
    Not only music not only music
    The head turns and adjusts the aim, be clever
    At times condemning at times forgiving
    Simply

    Think before firing
    Think before speaking and judging
    Try to think
    Think that you can decide
    Wait a moment
    Only a moment more
    With your head between your hands

    There were men that died young
    But they were aware that their ideas
    Would last for centuries as important words
    Unbroken and real as little miracles
    Ideas of equality ideas of education
    Against every man that exercises oppression
    Against every one against a weaker one
    Against he who buries his conscience in the cement

    Think
    Think before speaking and judging
    Try to think
    Think that you can decide
    Wait a moment
    Only a moment more
    With your head between your hands

    There were men that continued
    Although everything around was burning
    Because in the end this life has no meaning
    If you fear a bomb or a pointed gun
    Men passed and a song passes
    But no one will ever be able to stop the belief
    That justice is not only an illusion

    Think
    Think before speaking and judging
    Try to think
    Think that you can decide
    Wait a moment
    Only a moment more
    With your head between your hands
    Think

    Ci sono stati uomini che hanno scritto pagine
    Appunti di una vita dal valore inestimabile
    Insostituibili perché hanno denunciato
    Il più corrotto dei sistemi troppo spesso ignorato
    Uomini o angeli mandati sulla terra per combattere una guerra
    Di faide e di famiglie sparse come tante biglie
    Su un isola di sangue che fra tante meraviglie
    Fra limoni e fra conchiglie... massacra figli e figlie
    Di una generazione costretta a non guardare
    A parlare a bassa voce a spegnere la luce
    A commententare in pace ogni pallottola nell'aria
    Ogni cadavere in un fosso
    Ci sono stati uomini che passo dopo passo
    Hanno lasciato un segno con coraggio e con impegno
    Con dedizione contro un'istituzione organizzata
    Cosa nostra... cosa vostra... cos'è vostro?
    È nostra... la libertà di dire
    Che gli occhi sono fatti per guardare
    La bocca per parlare le orecchie ascoltano...
    Non solo musica non solo musica
    La testa si gira e aggiusta la mira ragiona
    A volte condanna a volte perdona
    Semplicemente
    Pensa prima di sparare
    Pensa prima di dire e di giudicare prova a pensare
    Pensa che puoi decidere tu
    Resta un attimo soltanto un attimo di più
    Con la testa fra le mani
    Ci sono stati uomini che sono morti giovani
    Ma consapevoli che le loro idee
    Sarebbero rimaste nei secoli come parole iperbole
    Intatte e reali come piccoli miracoli
    Idee di uguaglianza idee di educazione
    Contro ogni uomo che eserciti oppressione
    Contro ogni suo simile contro chi è più debole
    Contro chi sotterra la coscienza nel cemento
    Pensa prima di sparare
    Pensa prima di dire e di giudicare prova a pensare
    Pensa che puoi decidere tu
    Resta un attimo soltanto un attimo di più
    Con la testa fra le mani
    Ci sono stati uomini che hanno continuato
    Nonostante intorno fosse [tutto bruciato
    Perché in fondo questa vita non ha significato
    Se hai paura di una bomba o di un fucile puntato
    Gli uomini passano e passa una canzone
    Ma nessuno potrà fermare mai la convinzione
    Che la giustizia no... non è solo un'illusione
    Pensa prima di sparare
    Pensa prima dì dire e di giudicare prova a pensare
    Pensa che puoi decidere tu
    Resta un attimo soltanto un attimo di più
    Con la testa fra le mani
    Pensa.

    Jesus Christ was a man that traveled through the land
    A carpenter true and brave
    He said to the rich give your goods to the poor
    And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave

    He went to the sick and he went to the poor
    And he went to the hungry and the lame
    And he said that the meek would inherit the whole world
    And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave

    One day Jesus stopped at a rich man’s door
    What must I do to be saved
    Take all you own and give it to the poor
    And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave

    When the love of the poor shall one day turn to hate
    When the patience of the workers give away
    Would be better for the rich if they never been born
    So they laid Jesus Christ in the grave

    When Jesus came to town all the working folks around
    Believed what he did say
    But bankers and preachers nailed him to the cross
    And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave

    Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death
    And everybody wondered why
    Was the landlord and soldiers lawmen there had hired
    That nailed Jesus Christ in the sky

    We would lay Jesus Christ in the grave Lord Lord
    We would lay Jesus Christ in the grave
    And if Jesus preached today like he preached in Galilee
    We would lay Jesus Christ in his grave

    Bob Dylan and Joan Baez
    March on Washington 1963.


    Oh the time will come up
    When the winds will stop
    And the breeze will cease to be breathin'.
    Like the stillness in the wind
    'Fore the hurricane begins,
    The hour when the ship comes in.

    Oh the seas will split
    And the ship will hit
    And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking.
    Then the tide will sound
    And the wind will pound
    And the morning will be breaking.

    Oh the fishes will laugh
    As they swim out of the path
    And the seagulls they'll be smiling.
    And the rocks on the sands
    Will proudly stand,
    The hour that the ship comes in.

    And the words that are used
    For to get the ship confused
    Will not be understood as they're spoken.
    For the chains of the sea
    Will have busted in the night
    And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean.

    A song will lift
    As the mainsail shifts
    And the boat drifts on to the shoreline.
    And the sun will respect
    Every face on the deck,
    The hour that the ship comes in.

    Then the sands will roll
    Out a carpet of gold
    For your weary toes to be a-touchin'
    And the ship's wise men
    Will remind you once again
    That the whole wide world is watchin'.

    Oh the foes will rise
    With the sleep still in their eyes
    And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'.
    But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
    And know that it's for real,
    The hour when the ship comes in.

    Then they'll raise their hands,
    Sayin' we'll meet all your demands,
    But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered.
    And like Pharaoh's tribe,
    They'll be drownded in the tide,
    And like Goliath, they'll be conquered.

    Frank wrote this in reaction to the Watts riots back in 1965

    Well I'm about to get sick
    From watchin' my TV
    Been checkin' out the news
    Till my eyeballs fail to see
    I mean to say that every day
    Is just another rotten mess
    (Sure 'nuff!)
    And when it's gonna change, my friend
    Is anybody's guess (Well!) (Woa!)
    So I'm
    Watchin' and I'm a-waitin'
    I'm hopin' for the best
    Even think I'll go to prayin'
    Every time I hear 'em sayin'
    There's no way to delay
    That trouble comin' every day
    There's no way to delay
    That trouble comin' every day

    Wednesday I watched the riot
    I seen the cops out on the street
    I watched 'em throwin' rocks & stuff & chokin'
    In the heat
    I listen to reports
    'Bout the whisky passin' around
    I seen the smoke & fire
    And the market burnin' down
    I watched while everybody
    On his street would take a turn
    To stomp & smash & bash & crash & slash & bust & burn
    I'm a-watchin' and I'm a-waitin'
    But I'm hopin' for the best
    Even think I'll go to prayin'
    Every time I hear 'em sayin'
    There's no way to delay
    That trouble comin' every day
    There's no way to delay
    That trouble comin' every day

    Watchin' and I'm a-waitin'
    I'm hopin' for the best
    Even think I'll go to prayin'
    Every time I hear 'em sayin', oh, yeah . . .

    Well, you can cool it,
    You can heat it . . .
    'Cause, baby, I don't need it . . .
    Take your TV tube and eat it
    'N all that phony stuff on sports
    'N all the unconfirmed reports
    You know I watched that rotten box
    Until my head begin to hurt
    From checkin' out the way
    The newsman say they get the dirt
    Before the guys on channel so-and-so

    And further they assert
    That any show they'll interrupt
    To bring you news if it comes up
    They say that if the place blows up
    They will be the first to tell,
    Because the boys they got downtown
    Are workin' hard and doin' swell,
    And if anybody gets the news
    Before it hits the street,
    They say that no one blabs it faster
    Their coverage can't be beat

    And if another woman driver
    Gets machine-gunned from her seat
    They'll send some joker with a brownie
    And you'll see it all complete

    So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
    Hopin' for the best
    Even think I'll go to prayin'
    Every time I hear 'em sayin'
    That there's no way to delay
    That trouble comin' every day
    No way to delay
    That trouble comin' every day
    Hey, you know something people?
    I'm not black
    But there's a whole lots a times
    I wish I could say I'm not white

    Well, I seen the fires burnin'
    And the local people turnin'
    On the merchants and the shops
    Who used to sell their brooms and mops
    And every other household item
    Watched the mob just turn and bite 'em
    And they say it served 'em right
    Because a few of them are white,
    And it's the same across the nation
    Black and white discrimination
    Yellin' "You can't understand me!"
    'N all that other jazz they hand me
    In the papers and TV and
    All that mass stupidity
    That seems to grow more every day
    Each time you hear some nitwit say
    He wants to go and do you in
    Because the color of your skin
    Just don't appeal to him
    (No matter if it's black or white)
    Because he's out for blood tonight

    You know we got to sit around at home
    And watch this thing begin

    But I bet there won't be many live
    To see it really end
    'Cause the fire in the street
    Ain't like the fire in the heart
    And in the eyes of all these people
    Don't you know that this could start
    On any street in any town
    In any state if any clown
    Decides that now's the time to fight
    For some ideal he thinks is right
    And if a million more agree
    There ain't no Great Society
    As it applies to you and me
    Our country isn't free
    And the law refuses to see
    If all that you can ever be
    Is just a lousy janitor
    Unless your uncle owns a store
    You know that five in every four
    Just won't amount to nothin' more
    Gonna watch the rats go across the floor
    And make up songs about being poor

    Blow your harmonica, son!

    Album: I Am...

    I can no more be bound

    And I am the shaking
    And quaking of the earth
    And I am the water
    Of the worlds rebirth

    I am freedom
    I am freedom
    I am freedom
    I am freedom

    I am no more contained
    Then that the waves on the sea
    I cannot be chained
    Because I must be free

    And I am the fire
    That burns in all things
    The bell that tolls
    With freedoms call

    Shake when you hear me ring

    I am freedom
    I am freedom

    I am freedom

    I am freedom
    I am freedom
    I am freedom

    I can no more be bound
    Than the hawk in flight
    And I am the fires
    That burn in the night

    And I am the shaking
    And quaking of the earth
    And I am the water
    Of the worlds rebirth

    I am freedom
    I am freedom
    I am freedom
    I am freedom

    I am no more contained
    Then that the waves on the sea
    I cannot be chained
    Because I must be free

    And I am the fire
    That burns in all things
    The bell that tolls
    With freedoms call

    Shake when you hear me ring

    I am freedom
    I am freedom
    I am freedom
    I am freedom

    Una mattina mi son svegliato
    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
    Una mattina mi son svegliato
    Eo ho trovato l'invasor
    One morning I woke up
    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
    One morning I woke up
    And I found the invader



    O partigiano porta mi via
    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
    O partigiano porta mi via
    Che mi sento di morir
    Oh partisan, carry me away,
    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
    Oh partisan, carry me away,
    For I feel I'm dying



    E se io muoio da partigiano
    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
    E se io muoio da partigiano
    Tu mi devi seppellir
    And if I die as a partisan
    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
    And if I die as a partisan
    You have to bury me



    Mi seppellire lassù in montagna
    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
    Mi seppellire lassù in montagna
    Sotto l'ombra di un bel fiore
    But bury me up in the mountain
    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
    But bury me up in the mountain
    Under the shadow of a beautiful flower



    E le genti che passeranno
    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
    E le genti che passeranno
    Mi diranno: "Che bel fior"
    And the people who will pass by
    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao,
    And the people who will pass by
    Will say to me: "what a beautiful flower"



    È questo il fiore del partigiano
    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
    È questo il fiore del partigiano
    Morto per la libertà
    This is the flower of the partisan
    O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
    This is the flower of the partisan
    Who died for freedom

    Oh the price of gold is rising out of sight
    And the dollar is in sorry shape tonight
    What the dollar used to get us
    Now won't buy a head of lettuce
    No the economic forecast isn't right
    But amidst the clouds I spot a shining ray

    I can even glimpse a new and better way
    And I've demised a plan of action
    Worked it down to the last fraction
    And I'm going into action here today

    CHORUS:
    I am changing my name to Fannie Mae
    I am going down to Washington D.C.
    I will tell some power broker
    What they did for Freddy Mac
    Will be perfectly acceptable to me
    I am changing my name to Fannie Mae
    I am headed for that great receiving line
    So when they hand a trillion grand out
    I'll be standing with my hand out
    Yes sire I'll get mine

    When my creditors are screaming for their dough
    I'll be proud to tell them all where they can all go
    They won't have to scream and holler
    They'll be paid to the last dollar
    Where the endless streams of money seem to flow
    I'll be glad to tell them what they can do
    It's a matter of a simple form or two
    It's not just renumeration it's a liberal education
    Ain't you kind of glad that I'm in debt to you

    CHORUS

    Since the first amphibians crawled out of the slime
    We've been struggling in an unrelenting climb
    We were hardly up and walking before money started talking
    And it's sad that failure is an awful crime
    Well it's been that way for a millenium or two
    But now it seems that there's a different point of view
    If you're a corporate titanic and your failure is gigantic
    Down to congress there's a safety net for you

    CHORUS

    People Got To Be Free lyrics

    All the world over, so easy to see
    People everywhere just wanna be free
    Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be
    Peace in the valley, people got to be free

    You should see, what a lovely, lovely world this would be
    If everyone learned to live together
    It seems to me such an easy, easy thing this would be
    Why can't you and me learn to love one another

    All the world over, so easy to see
    People everywhere just wanna be free
    I can't understand it, so simple to me
    People everywhere just got to be free
    Ah, ah, yeah . . . ah, ah, yeah

    If there's a man who is down and needs a helping hand
    All it takes is you to understand and to see him through
    Seems to me, we got to solve it individually
    And I'll do unto you what you do to me

    There'll be shoutin' from the mountains on out to sea
    (out to the sea)
    No two ways about it, people have to be free
    (they got to be free)
    Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be
    (ah-ha)
    It's a natural situation for a man to be free

    Oh, what a feelin's just come over me
    Enough to move a mountain, make a blind man see
    Everybody's dancin', come on, let's go see
    Peace in the valley, now they want to be free
