Lyrics
He advocated a simple life And wore khadi day and night God is not on one man's side An eye for an eye makes us blind Makes us blind He marched for civil rights and freedom And had a dream in Washington He told us all of the mountaintop Told us 'bout the promised land Promised land Where have all the good men gone? Have they all packed up and left town Have they all just gone forever Or did we shoot them all Shoot them all Shoot them all down When Vietnam burned he saw red Clashed with Nixon from his bed He said "imagine there's no country" Urged the world to give peace a chance Peace a chance He fought for the cause of oppressed blacks Replaced his surname with an X He promised his people freedom's light Every one should be treated right Treated right Good men must start doing something And make this world fit for everyone Who'll put their head above the wall And put a flower in the smoking gun?
