Jackson-kent Blues Lyrics - The Joker - Steve Miller

I was down in Nashville just payin' my dues 

Headed for Ohio when I read the news 

'Bout the people demonstrating 'gainst the President's views 

Four were shot down by the National Guard troops 

Just like Uncle Sam I put on my fighting shoes 

School shot down cause there's no more to lose 

Now we're headed to D.C. two by twos 

Cause those low down, profound, killin' four blues 

Lookin' for my Congressman to make it well known 

But the politicians already won't answer his telephone 

Making in his office while they're shooting kids down at home 

Worried about the voters but he won't be worried long

Silent majority still glued to the tube 

Say CIA ain't lookin', FBI come unglued 

Shot some more in Jackson just to show the world what they can do 

While we're marching to D.C. cause there's too much to do 

Give peace a chance 

Give peace a chance 

There's no turnin' back my friend 

There's no turnin' back

When the President said that the tear gas is gone 

The army's pulled out leavin' blood on the ground 

The streets are empty and the crying's died down 

You can be President if no one's around 

Just like Kow Kow, you've heard it before 

Get back gangster, don't you open that door 

Space Cowboy's back to tell you the score 

Nothing any good is gonna come from a war 

Got those low down, profound, killin' four blues 

Give peace a chance 

Give peace a chance 

Give peace a chance
