MIDI - SOUND OF SILENCE (under Memphis Memories picture)
Hello swift boat vets, our friends...your country's calling you again
There's someone unfit for commander...to the U.N. he would pander
We all knew that you'd be answering the call...standing tall
He wants you to be silent
He's a man who must not lead...and your message we should heed
You have gotten up each morning...and you've been sounding out a warning
Soldiers died from help that he gave to the enemy...all could see
He wants you to be silent
He made some claims that were not true...and he had slandered all of you
He said things that were very hateful...hold your heads high, we are grateful
You came home and were not given what you're due...we love you
He wants you to be silent
There were things John Kerry did...that for many years he hid
Battle scenes re-creating...that was fascinating
Medals won...but were they really earned?
He wants you to just...be silent
Now come personal attacks...by his group of lawyer hacks
They're gonna try intimidation...as you stand up for this nation
You fought battles and risked life and limb as you're fighting on some foreign shore
Now here's one more
He wants you to be silent
Another great one.
You've got real fluidity in your verse.
You also chose a really great song to piggyback.
One of my all time favorite songs and movies.
Hey Doug! Hope you don't mind if I pass this one along. You didn't perhaps see Hannity and Colmes tonight, or Scarborough Country or Hardball? Sometimes you just have to face the awful truth. (That's for the liberals out there)
Unfortunately, I hardly ever watch TV and gave up cable about 8 years ago.
Well, thank you!
I just read your page. I love it.
