On With The Song - Mary Chapin Carpenter[00:00:00]
This isn't for the ones who blindly follow[00:00:16]
Jingoistic bumper stickers tellin' you[00:00:20]
To love it or leave it and you'd better love Jesus[00:00:24]
And get out of the way of the Red White and Blue[00:00:28]
This isn't for the ones who buy their six-packs[00:00:40]
At the 7-Eleven where the clerk makes change[00:00:44]
Whose accent makes clear (he) sure ain't from here[00:00:48]
They call him a camel jockey instead of his name[00:00:52]
No this is for the ones who stand their ground[00:00:56]
When the lines in the sand get deeper[00:01:00]
When the whole world seems to be upside down[00:01:04]
And (the) shots bein' taken get cheaper cheaper[00:01:08]
This isn't for the ones who would gladly swallow[00:01:18]
Everything their leader would have them know[00:01:22]
Bowing and kissin' while the truth goes missin'[00:01:26]
"Bring it on " he crows puttin' on his big show[00:01:30]
This isn't for the man who can't count the bodies[00:01:34]
Can't comfort the families can't say when he's wrong[00:01:38]
Playin' "I'm the decider " like some sort of Messiah[00:01:42]
While another day passes and a hundred souls gone[00:01:46]
This is for the ones who stand their ground[00:01:51]
When the lines in the sand get deeper[00:01:54]
When the whole world seems to be upside down[00:01:58]
And (the) shots bein' taken get cheaper cheaper[00:02:02]
This is for the ones that I see above me[00:02:27]
Three little stars in a great big sky[00:02:31]
Light for the world and hope for the weary[00:02:35]
They try[00:02:39]
This isn't for the ones with their radio signal[00:02:43]
Callin' for bonfires and boycotts they rave[00:02:47]
Exhorting their listeners to spit on the sinners[00:02:51]
While countin' the bucks of advertising they'll say[00:02:55]
This isn't for you and you know who you are[00:02:59]
Just do what you want 'cause I know that you can[00:03:03]
But I gotta be true to myself and to you[00:03:07]
So on with the song I don't give a damn[00:03:11]
