Billy Bragg, Wilco - Stetson Kennedy lyrics
[Billy Bragg, Wilco - Stetson Kennedy lyrics]
Mailing my letter to the President
Didn't make a show, I didn't make a dent
So I'm swinging over to this independent gent
Stetson Kennedy writing his name in
Stetson Kennedy writing his name in
I can't win out to save my soul
Long as Smathers-DuPont's got me in the hole
Them war profit boys are
Squawking and balking
That's what's got me out
Here walking and talking
Knocking on doors and windows
Wake up and run down election morning
And scribble in Stetson Kennedy
I am not the world's best writer
I am not the world's best speller
But when I believe in something
I'm the loudest yeller
If we fix it so you can't
Make no money on war
Well we'll all forget what we
Was killing folks for
We'll find us a peace job equal and free
We'll dump Smathers-Dupont in a salty sea
Well, this makes Stetson Kennedy
The man for me
