Here are the lyrics.
"Deja Vu" (All Over Again)
Did you hear'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio Did you try to read the writing on the wall Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before It's like Deja Vu all over again
Day by day I hear the voices rising Started with a whisper like it did before Day by day we count the dead and dying Ship the bodies home while the networks all keep score
Did you hear'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio Could your eyes believe the writing on the wall Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before It's like Deja Vu all over again
One by one I see the old ghosts rising Stumblin' cross Big Muddy Where the light gets dim Day after day another Momma's crying She's lost her precious child To a war that has no end
Did you hear'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio Did you stop to read the writing on the Wall Did that voice inside you say I've seen this all before It's like Deja Vu all over again It's like Deja Vu all over again
Does he mean that defeatism is "Deja Vu All Over Again?"
Maybe we can start calling him Dan Forgery? ;0)
This will do little more than bring back memories of Kerry & Fonda and their anti-war rantings of the early 70's.
Did you hear'em talkin' 'bout the washed up rock star
His new CDs in the discount bin
Did that voice inside say it sounds just like Ted Kenn'dy
I've heard it all before
It's more Leftist Spew all over again

"Here are the lyrics."
He calls those lyrics? Pathetic.
As wrongheaded as they were in the 60s, at least they could be clever.
You gotta feel sorry for these old former pop singers who peeked just after high school. How sad. Where's Peter, Paul and Mary?
It's pretty sad when one of the worst moments in America's history turns into a rallying point for a group of Americans.
I almost get the feeling that Vietnam was actually the BEST time in these people's lives. Why else would they keep trying to draw connections between now and then? Vietnam was their heyday. It was the last time that they could hippie-out. They so long for those days again.
I'll betcha the Kerry Campaign originally scheduled him months ago on ABC to sing "Fortunate Son"; DanScam has made the MSM, tho, temporarily a little more skittish about being too overtly DNC. So ABC probably asked Fogarty to sing another tune.
ABC already had Fogarty sing "Fortunate Son" Wed. night on its A&E Biography "Live Request Concert." (ABC has 37.5% ownership in that channel; Hearst the other 37.5%; NBC has the other 25%). The host of that show referred to "Fortunate Son" being one of the greatest ever songs. That's called Democratic hype written by Kerry's scriptwriters. [I mean, it barely makes CCR's top dozen].
I suppose the ABC/NBC/Hearst folks are gonna tell us that having on Forgarty a few weeks after the inauguration of the Democrat "Fortunate Son" campaign was all coincidence. That's it's been in the works for years on end and it "just happened" to fall on the date of Sept. 22.
Yeah, and I've got some swamp land in Florida...[well, it's true, the entire state is now officially sanctioned swampland].
When did the A&E schedulers of their "Live Request" concerts know about the "Fortunate Son" Campaign and who told them? Why was "Fortunate Son" the peak--the crest of the show?
Why is John Fogarty's timing of coming out of the respite closet after 7 years matching the stretch run of the political campaign? Another coincidence?
We FREEPERS need to forward these questions to columnists & talk-show hosts to ensure that we don't give the broader MSM a free pass. Remember, the DNC has operatives and key contacts at every major media outlet. Remember, also that a campaign is not a compaign if all they are doing is putting out a video and referencing it on its web site & some talking head talking points.
A campaign includes infiltrating venues throughout the culture. Apparently, that's what Kerry officials have done. When it comes to the MSM, it's FSC-R-Us.
"Deja Vu" (All Over Again) ? Or, is he simply stuck in Lodi???
The melody lines of most protest songs sound like cats wailing.
Like we're supposed to listen to the wisdom who sold away the rights to all his songs years ago and didn't realize it???
Funny thing is, I don't recall Fogerty distinguishing himself in the anti-Vietnam War movement. Probably afraid it would cut into his record sales.
