Met myself a comin'. county welfare line. I was feelin' strung out. Hung out on the line. Saw myself a goin'. down to war in June. All I want. All I want. is to write myself a tune. Wrote a song For everyone. Wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for everyone. And I couldn't even talk to you. Got myself arrested. Wound me up in jail. Richmond 'bout to blow up. Communication failed. If you see the answer. now's the time to say. All I want. All I want. is to get you down to pray. Wrote a song For everyone. Wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for everyone. And I couldn't even talk to you. Saw the people standin'. thousand years in chains. Somebody said it's different now. Look it's just the same. Pharoahs spin the message. round and round the truth. They could have saved a million people. How can I tell you?. Wrote a song For everyone. Wrote a song for truth. Wrote a song for everyone. And I couldn't even talk to you
