We are down in Washington
Fighting against an age-old sin
Nothing but mass murder
Done by age-old men.
[Chorus:]
Everybody's got a right to live
Everybody's got a right to live
And before this campaign fails
We'll all go down to jail
Everybody's got a right to live.
Can't you hear the women and children
Over in My Lai
Screaming, "Lieutenant William Calley
Why do we have to die?"
[Chorus]
Our brothers and our sisters
Are demanding that we share
Soil, rocks, minerals,
The ocean and the air.
[Chorus]
No more some be rich
While others dirt poor
All around this world
We say "Poverty No More!"
[Chorus]
Here we are in Washington
Full of hope and pain
To see if some folks gonna listen
Or will they pluck their ears again.
[Chorus]
We haven't got much time left
The sands are running out
"Peace, Justice, Freedom
You can hear the whole world shout!"
Pete Seeger (1919-2014) was an American singer, musician, and activist renowned worldwide. Born in New York to a family of artists, Seeger distinguished himself for his powerful voice and social commitment. He began his career in the 1930s with folk groups like The Almanac Singers, promoting themes of social justice and fighting against injustices. During the 1950s, Seeger became a symbol of American folk music, influencing generations of artists with his direct and engaging style. His most famous song, "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", became an anthem for peace and against war. He also contributed to the birth of the environmental movement in the 1960s with songs like "If I Had a Hammer". Seeger was often criticized for his political views during the Cold War but remained an icon of American folk music until his death in 2014. Among his most important albums are "American Industrial Ballads" (1956) and "Rainbow Race" (1963). Some of his most representative songs are: "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", "If I Had a Hammer", "Turn! Turn! Turn!" and "Guantanamera".
