Could it be he could be wrong A7 About the pilgrims and the natives Having dinner on the lawn? D I think if I was ever king I would buy a censorship D Where the only books upon the shelves Were the ones that I had written A7 Oh, and put them up in borders, set my photo down the spine D To tell the story of the livin' without forgettin' those who'd died A7 And I would die a happy man 'Cause I did the best that I could do D To find a better way of leading, Should we leave that up to you? D Who was the one that said it, Yeah the one who said it best? A7 You got to L-O-V-E your neighbors, at least the ones who are still left And we gotta stand a little closer To the lessons that we've learned Is it just a premonition? Could we really get ourselves both burned? I've been sent here on a mission to find what we agree upon We don't agree about September, Could we agree on Vietnam? I think if I was ever publisher I'd buy a pirate ship Where the mission at each position is to shoot and to click Clean the photos up a little, censor the ship out of it So when we put it up in borders, turn a profit on the trip Charge the public for the overhead of 1492 And if they need a better reason tell them we got livin' proof And I would die a happy man 'Cause I did the best that I could do To find a better way of leading, Should we leave that up to you Who was it that said it? Yeah that's what I'm trying to say You got to L-O-V-E your neighbors, at least the ones that live today Hey, hey ============================================= Man Named Truth tabbed by Unregistered Dm Am Dm Dont ever buy nothin' from a man named truth.
