Satellite Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

words and Music by Arlo Guthrie 

I'd like to tell you a story 

For just a minute or two 

And if you don't want to hear it 

Just be quiet if some others do 

I'd like to get me a satellite 

Way up over the world 

And say hello everybody and you too girl 

This is me your friend A.G. 

Speaking to you from above 

Here in the land of America 

Sending everybody love 

I'd like to tell the whole world 

In every foreign land 

Today looks like a day for holding hands 

Today ain't nothing special 

It's just an average day 

But we could get together 

And watch the children play 

Tomorrow will be soon enough 

To return to blood and guns 

Let's just take the day off and have some fun 

Today we tell the hungry 

That food is on the way 

Today we tell the sick ones 

That soon you'll be okay 

Today we tell the prisoners 

That soon you will be free 

Don't no one take this microphone from me 

And while I'm up here honey 

I got a message for you 

I know I've got just a little while 

So let me end it through 

The whole world's dancing 'round and 'round 

Like a universe of fools 

And ain't it wonderful to see 

A day that breaks the rules 

Like a day that's made for me and you 

Oh ain't it wonderful to see 

A day that breaks the rules 

Like a day that's made for me and you
