Met myself a coming, county welfare line.
I was feeling strung out, hung out on the line.
Saw myself a going, down to war in June.
What I want, all I want, is to write myself a tune.
Wrote a song for everyone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote a song for everyone,
and I couldn't even talk to you.

Got myself arrested, wound me up in jail.
Richmond 'bout to blow up, communication failed.
If you see the answer, now's the time to say.
What I want, all I want is to get you down and pray.
Wrote a song for everyone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote a song for everyone,
and I couldn't even talk to you.
Wrote a song for everyone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote a song for everyone,
and I couldn't even talk to you.
Saw the people standing, thousand years in chains.
Somebody said it's different now, look, it's just the same.
Pharaohs spin the message, round and round the truth.
They could have saved a million people, how can I tell you?
Wrote a song for everyone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote a song for everyone,
and I couldn't even talk to you.
Wrote a song for everyone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote a song for everyone,
and I couldn't even talk to you.
Wrote a song for everyone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote a song for everyone,
and I couldn't even talk to you.
