BOBBY DARIN - A SIMPLE SONG OF FREEDOM

HEY THERE, MISTER BLACK MAN,
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
I DON`T WANT YOUR DIAMONDS OR YOUR GAME.
I JUST WANT TO BE SOMEONE
KNOWN TO YOU AS ME
AND I WILL BET MY LIFE
YOU WANT THE SAME.
(CHORUS)COME AND SING
A SIMPLE SONG OF FREEDOM.
SING IT LIKE YOU NEVER SUNG BEFORE.
LET IT FILL THE AIR,
TELL PEOPLE EV`RYWHERE
THAT WE, THE PEOPLE HERE,
DON`T WANT A WAR.
SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION,
ARE YOU LIST`NING?
MOST OF WHAT YOU READ IS MADE OF LIES.
BUT SPEAKING ONE TO ONE,
AIN`T IT EV`RYBODY`S SUN
TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING WHEN WE RISE?
(CHORUS)
BROTHER YEVTOSHENKO,
ARE YOU BUSY?
IF NOT, WON`T YOU DROP A FRIEND A LINE
AND TELL ME IF THE MAN
WHO IS PLOWING UP YOUR LAND
HAS GOT THE WAR MACHINE UPON HIS MIND.
(CHORUS)
NO DOUBT SOME FOLKS ENJOY DOING BATTLE,
LIKE PRESIDENTS,
PRIME MINISTERS AND KINGS.
SO LET US BUILD THEM SHELVES
WHERE THEY CAN FIGHT AMONG THEMSELVES
AND LEAVE THE PEOPLE BE WHO LIKE TO SING.
(CHORUS)
