John Wesley Harding - Come Gather Round Lyrics
Come gather round and listen, if you can get that nearIf not, well use a microphone so all poor souls can hearAnd hold hands in a circle, or stare bored straight aheadRejoice in your rebellion, or wish you were in bedCome gather round and liten, or watch it on the screenThe campfire burned out long ago, the songs all got obsceneAnd left us with some rich kids trying hard to be sincereLet it fly straight out the other after going in one earCome gather round--from the kings and the queens on downIf you listen close, you can hear the soundOf a human voice saying come gather roundCome gather roundSo listen to my story, though I havent yet begunWe have to cut through so much crap to have a little funAnd who are we now anyway to even earn the name?Were so convinced were different, it makes us all the sameDont fall for the maturityIt aint realThey just call it integrityPlease dont grow upPlease blow up your tvCome all you desperate rebels and hang your heads in shameFor those who live in self-contempt with just themselves to blameAnd for those who can, who do nothing, and those who cant, who succeedTo cry out bloody murder the moment that they bleed...Come gather round--from the kings and the queen on downIf you listen close, you can hear the soundOf a human voice saying come gather roundCome gather round
