Lyrics
0:00I done spent my last three cents
0:05Mailing my letter to the president
0:09I didn't make a show I didn't make a dent
0:12So I'm swinging over to this independent gent
0:17Stetson kennedy
0:19Writing his name in
0:22Stetson kennedy
0:23Writing his name in
0:35I can't win out to save my soul
0:38Long as smathers-duponts got me in the hole
0:43Them war profit boys are squawking and balking
0:47That's what's got me out here walking and talking
0:52Knocking on doors and windows
0:56Wake up and run down election morning
0:59And scribble in stetson kennedy
1:33I ain't the worlds best writer nor the worlds best speller
1:37But when I believe in something I'm the loudest yeller
1:41If we fix it so you can't make no money on war
1:45Well all forget what we were killing folks for
1:50Well find us a peace job equal and free
1:55Dump smathers-dupont in a salty sea
1:58Well this makes stetson kennedy the man for me
I done spent my last three cents Mailing my letter to the president I didn't make a show I didn't make a dent So I'm swinging over to this independent gent Stetson kennedy Writing his name in Stetson kennedy Writing his name in I can't win out to save my soul Long as smathers-duponts got me in the hole Them war profit boys are squawking and balking That's what's got me out here walking and talking Knocking on doors and windows Wake up and run down election morning And scribble in stetson kennedy I ain't the worlds best writer nor the worlds best speller But when I believe in something I'm the loudest yeller If we fix it so you can't make no money on war Well all forget what we were killing folks for Well find us a peace job equal and free Dump smathers-dupont in a salty sea Well this makes stetson kennedy the man for me
