Testi Jackson-Kent Blues - Steve Miller Band

Jackson-Kent Blues

I was down in Nashville just payin' my dues\nHeaded for Ohio when I read the news\n'Bout the people demonstrating 'gainst the President’s views\nFour were shot down by the National Guard troops\nJust like Uncle Sam I put on my fighting shoes\nSchool shot down cause there’s no more to lose\nNow we’re headed to D. C. Two by twos\nCause those low down, profound, killin' four blues\nLookin' for my Congressman to make it well known\nBut the politicians already won’t answer his telephone\nMaking in his office while they’re shooting kids down at home\nWorried about the voters but he won’t be worried long\nSilent majority still glued to the tube\nSay cia ain’t lookin', fbi come unglued\nShot some more in Jackson just to show the world what they can do While we’re marching to D. C. Cause there’s too much to do Give peace a chance\nGive peace a chance\nThere’s no turnin' back my friend\nThere’s no turnin' back\nWhen the President said that the tear gas is gone\nThe army’s pulled out leavin' blood on the ground\nThe streets are empty and the crying’s died down\nYou can be President if no one’s around\nJust like Kow Kow, you’ve heard it before\nGet back gangster, don’t you open that door\nSpace Cowboy’s back to tell you the score\nNothing any good is gonna come from a war\nGot those low down, profound, killin' four blues\nGive peace a chance\nGive peace a chance\nGive peace a chance
