Get your picture in the newspaper
What's that
Badges on the hat
It's important
I'll Eat later

All thumbs and a guitar
Never would have got far
Starring eyes
Insect in a jar
I'm no traitor

You got to fight for the right
To fight for your rights

Free speech
Love and Peace
To important to leave till later
Up all night
Get my picture in the newspaper

Dont you care
Walk by
I'll see you later
Over coffe
A picture in your newspaper

What that
What does it say
The Kingdom of God could be yours today

Who's that some kind of freak
I'm here now
I'll fight to be here next week

Up all night
it's not all right
Stand up
Get your picture in the newspaper
For the record
I've got a record
And all I'll leave behind
Is a picture in a newspaper [comments] => 4 [counter] => 229 [topic] => 55 [informant] => PLformalyknownasPpaul [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )

to be overlooked in a world full of politics and other such nonsence is truly inhumane...
