[00:00:00] Great American Novel - STEVE CAMP

[00:00:30] I was born and raised an orphan in a land

[00:00:35] That once was free

[00:00:37] In a land that poured its love out on the moon

[00:00:44] And I grew up in the shadows of your silos

[00:00:50] Filled with grain

[00:00:52] But you never helped to fill my empty spoon

[00:01:00] You kill a black man at midnight

[00:01:04] Just for talking to your daughter

[00:01:08] Then you make his wife your mistress

[00:01:11] And you leave her without water

[00:01:15] And the sheet you wear upon your face

[00:01:19] Is the sheet your children sleep on

[00:01:23] You say your prayer at every meal

[00:01:26] You don't believe but still you keep on

[00:01:32] And your money says In God We Trust

[00:01:35] But it's against the law to pray in school

[00:01:39] You say we beat the Russians to the moon

[00:01:43] And I say you starved your children to do it

[00:02:02] We are far across the ocean

[00:02:06] In a the war that's not our own

[00:02:10] And while you're winning theirs

[00:02:13] We're gonna lose the one at home

[00:02:17] Do you really think the only way

[00:02:21] To bring about the peace

[00:02:25] Is to sacrifice your children

[00:02:28] And kill all your enemies

[00:02:31] The politicians all make speeches

[00:02:36] While the news men all take note

[00:02:39] And they exaggerate the issues

[00:02:43] As they shove them down our throats

[00:02:47] Is it really up to them

[00:02:50] Whether this country sinks or floats

[00:02:55] Well I wonder who would lead us

[00:02:58] If none of us would vote

[00:03:04] And your money says In God We Trust

[00:03:08] But it's against the law to pray in school

[00:03:11] You say we beat the Russians to the moon

[00:03:15] And I say you starved your children to do it

[00:03:19] You say all men are equal all men are brothers

[00:03:23] Then why are the rich more equal than others

[00:03:27] Don't ask me for the answer I've only got one

[00:03:31] That a man leaves his darkness when he follows the Son

[00:03:43] When he follows the Son

[00:04:09] Follows the Son

[00:04:14] Follows the Son
