A protest song


In the air I get to smoke a cigarette

I get to walking around the town

On my way to nowhere special

I got nothing to do today
Across the street a guy gets out an old guitar

Further along a girl goes by and I think

You gotta love this city

Look around there's girls all over

Ain't nothing like this back home

A car goes by playing 'A Protest Song'

The guy with the guitar starts to sing along

'Nothing really changes its here and then its gone'
Words in 'A Protest Song'

But what's it really saying about what's going on?

In the bar you got the tv news

You got the prices rising again they say

Five o'clock the bar is crowded

Everybody got paid today

And over there at the jukebox

Someone plays 'A Protest Song'

And people tap their feet, start to sing along

'Nothing really changes, its here and then its gone'

Words in 'A Protest Song'

But what's it really saying about what's going on?

And I wonder where it all begins

Count up all the money let me know who wins

And over there is Rosedale

A kid gets out his new guitar

And starts to write a song

About this violent world

And how there's something wrong

How nothing really changes

Its here and then its gone

But what's it really saying

About what's going on?

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
