Stetson Kennedy — текст песни (Billy Bragg)

I done spent my last three cents

Mailing my letter to the president

I didnt make a show, I didnt make a dent

So Im swinging over to this independent gent

Stetson kennedy

Writing his name in



I caint win out to save my soul

Long as smathers-duponts got me in the hole

Them war profit boys are squawking and balking

Thats whats 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 aint the worlds best writer nor the worlds best speller

But when I believe in something Im the loudest yeller

If we fix it sos you cant make money on war

Well all forget what were killing folks for

Well find us a peace job equal and free

Dump smathers-dupont in a salty sea

Well, this makes stetson kennedy the man for me
