Last Of The Protest Singers

Open: He's the last of the protest singers Selling truth and commitment He don't get much work these days He's billed as a novelty act And he stands there with his thumb out Hitchin' a ride towards the rainbow That only he sees shining there They say he's a fool and that's a fact. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Yes he's the last of the protest singers But somehow I believe him As he strums on cold street corners singing It's what I say, not what I am. Late at night I hold him He shivers and hides his crying And says, "Should I just play some Rock 'n Roll 'cause nobody really gives a damn?" Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I said "That's really not good enough Because there's enough of that kind of stuff!" And I say "That's really not good enough Because there's enough of that kind of stuff!" And he says, "I can't believe nobody cares anymore." And he says, "I can't believe nobody shares anymore." And he says, "I can't believe nobody's there like before." He says, "I can't believe it's really true. Don't you care anymore?" Yes he's the last of the protest singers Staring as he's strumming For he sees the dark clouds coming now And he says he feels those first few drops He sees he can not reach them But he tries to sing out louder And I say, "You're getting hoarser boy." He says, "Should I give up and stop?" Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh And I say "That's really not good enough Because there's enough of that kind of stuff" And I say "That's really not good enough Because there's enough of that kind of stuff!" And he says, "I can't believe nobody cares anymore." And he says, "I can't believe nobody shares anymore." And he says, "I can't believe nobody's there like before." He says, "I can't believe it's really true. Don't you care anymore?" Yes, he's the last of the protest singers Selling truth and commitment He don't get much work these days He's billed as a novelty act And he stands there with his thumb out Hitchin' a ride towards the rainbow That only he sees shining there They say he's a fool and that's a fact. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh "There's enough of that kind of stuff!" And I say "That's really not good enough Because there's enough of that kind of stuff!" And he says, "I can't believe nobody cares anymore." And he says, "I can't believe nobody shares anymore." And he says, "I can't believe nobody's there like before." He says, "I can't believe it's really true. Don't you care anymore?" Yes, he's the last of the protest singers...
