When I was small I used to stand with my hand on my heartGrace Slick "Show Yourself" (sorry, but I have no link and I don't know what album it's from)
And I would sing to you
You were my father and my brother, my sister and my mother
I believed in you
It was so easy then
It was so easy then
But where are you now
It seems like you can't hear me any more
Maybe you're just getting too old
But do you remember
Two hundred and twenty-five years ago
When you were young
Oh-- How strong you had become!
Promising everyone your sweet gift of freedom
Now you know exactly who I am
I seem to show you all the time
Tell me some kind of truth about yourself
Your life should be as open as mine
There are children who die for you
That doesn't sound like freedom to me
Not when you lie about why they're dying
When they should be conceived in liberty
Show yourself, show yourself
Show yourself to me
Are you RCA? Are you Standard Oil? Are you AT&T?
I want to see.
Give it to me, if you've got one, I want to see
Who runs this
Who runs this
Who runs this country?
