Song lyrics for acoustic guitar
(The chords are G D A)
Hey mister president,
Thanks for dropping by
I hope you know that I
Wanted you to try and break us free
And
Hey mister president
Did you know that I have sent
A letter to our government
But it was never relevant or read to you
And
Hey mister government
Thank you for the times
And Thank you for my dimes
And thank you fr'all the lies
But it's just a fools game anyhow
But
Hey mister senator
I hope your feeling proud
With your head up in clouds
a wife you sleep around
Pictured is a man who looks just like you
But
Hey mister president
I hope you play my song
On the white houses front lawn
And that it makes you think about
What it means
To be
Counted on for change
But not a pocket full of dimes
Or building walls or speeding fines
Just a voice to keep my time
And we will all hold hands and sing
with a voice that is the meaning
Of tomorrow
Once, upon a long ago time,
During times unexpected came a day,
That I did utter a crime,
Nothing more than did I say,
Not of any mention of a beard,
But more along the lines of weird,
Never meaning to offend,
I thought she was a little strange,
Apalled, she brought words to defend,
As if I had paralled her to deranged,
In such confusion was an apology,
And as such explained my mind,
It was no comment on physiology,
Or that her thoughts were unrefined,
In fact I identified as much stranger,
And never knew the word a danger,
To mention a difference is vile,
Hearing such brings no smile,
The revelation was startling,
Thus began reality departing:
There is such worship of creativity,
But those things are held in captivity,
Trained to be the same in each activity,
Only wanting to see most productivity,
I dared to, continue to,
Be something strange,
I've collected a small crew,
Which I will never exchange.
We are the seperated odd,
But do not think us flawed,
If ever we utter the word,
Just know we mean to applaud--
Let not meaning of the word be blurred.
I speak my mind.
Don't like it?
Too bad.
I bear you my soul.
Don't like it?
Too bad.
I believe that all beings and
life forms are all the same,
and different,
at the same time,
and that we are slowly losing
our connection to this concept
as a species, and it is destroying us.
Don't like it?
Too bad.
I believe there is a sanctity
that lies within each individual,
every animal,
every life form.
Don't like it?
Too bad.
Don't like my
style of self-expression?
My authenticity?
My 'attitude'?
My disgust with closed-minded people?
My honesty?
My truth?
It's just plain too bad.
I love yours, and I hope
one day we can meet halfway.

You seem so phased that im different
You seem so overturned that i dont live up to your immoral standard
You get mad when i remain unmoved by your deletirious innuendos
Difference is my unearned virtue
Independence is a mentality
So who i am isnt determined by my genes but by my God and my psychological intellect
So let me incline as you try to fill me with a since of culpability for being different and i will never be on the level as you because i am one
I am a individual
I am different
So for a summary....
I am a brick while you are concrete
