You Should Have Been Down in Mississppi - Phil Ochs
Pardon me, all you people Who enjoy your peace of mind You say everybody's equal Everybody is doing fine. You should've been down in mississippi In the summer of sixty-four If you were down in mississippi You wouldn't say that anymore. Pardon me, mr.backlash, You say you're worried about your home You say we're going too far too fast You say you want to be left alone. *chorus* Pardon me, mr.policeman, Why are you shining up your shield You say you stand for law and order You wouldn't do no dirty deals. *chorus* Pardon me, mr. soldier, Why are you marching down the road You say you're fighting for your future And the freedoms that you hold. *chorus* Pardon me, mr. president, You want your place in history You say you're doing all you can do To makle all the people free. *chorus* Pardon me, all you people Who enjoy your peace of mind You say everybody's equal Everybody is doing fine. *chorus*
