Stephen Stills <br />
<br />
  <br />
<br />
Forty nine reasons all in a line <br />
<br />
All of them good ones, all of them lies <br />
<br />
Drifting with my lady, we're oldest of friends <br />
<br />
Need a little work and there's fences to mend <br />
<br />
  <br />
<br />
Steady girl, she was my world <br />
<br />
Till the drifter come, now she's gone <br />
<br />
I let that man play his hand <br />
<br />
I let them go, how was I to know <br />
<br />
I'm down on my knees, nobody left to please <br />
<br />
  <br />
<br />
Now it's over, they left in the spring <br />
<br />
Her and the drifter, lookin' for beautiful things<br />
<br />
 <br />
And I want you to clap your hands<br />
<br />

And a little bit louder now<br />
<br />
A little bit louder now<br />
<br />
And a little bit louder now<br />
<br />

<br />
Oh, you know there's something happening here <br />
<br />
What it is ain't exactly clear <br />
<br />
Yes there's a man with a gun over there <br />
<br />
Telling me I got to be ware <br />
<br />
And we got to stop children, what's that sound <br />
<br />
Look what's going down <br />
<br />
Ahh look what's going down<br />
<br />
<br />
All right<br />
<br />
What a field day, what a heat <br />
<br />
Must have been a thousand people standing in the street <br />
<br />
Singing songs and carrying signs<br />
<br />
Come on, mostly say "hurray for our side"<br />
<br />
And we got to stop children, what's that sound <br />
<br />
Everybody look what's going down <br />
<br />
All right, what's going down ah yes<br />
<br />
Well it looks to me like there's a few politicians hanging around children<br />
<br />
Purpertating some kind of myth on us all all right<br />
<br />
Taking bout what a drag all the kids are yeah aahh<br />
<br />
Cause they got the guts to get out in the strees and tell the truth every day aahh yes<br />
<br />
Making it a little hot for them, you know all right<br />
<br />
But you know that we're all just out there proving to <br />
<br />
Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew and Richard Dailey and all them other, <br />
<br />
Well whatever you want to call them<br />
<br />
That America is still the home of the brave oh yes it is<br />
<br />
And you got to be brave children<br />
<br />
How many is it that they shot down already?<br />
<br />
Something like seventeen of us.<br />
<br />
But you know we gotta do it <br />
<br />
We gotta keep on keeping on<br />
<br />
Because if we don't do it nobody else is gonna<br />
<br />
But you know if we can't do it with a smile on our face<br />
<br />
You know if  we can't love in our hearts then children we ain't got no right to do it at all<br />
<br />
Because it just means we ain't learned nothing yet<br />
<br />
We're supposed to be some kind of different Ahhh<br />
<br />
Whoa Whoa Whoa oh yes<br />
<br />
And I don't know if I want white America to remember or to forget<br />
<br />
That Jesus Christ was the first non-violent revolutionary<br />
<br />
Dig it ohh Dig it ooh right on Dig it yeah<br />
<br />
<br />
You know that paranoia it strikes deep<br />
<br />
Into your life it's going to creep<br />
<br />
And it starts when you're always afraid<br />
<br />
Step out of line the man comes <br />
<br />
He's going to shoot you down<br />
