Good evening mr.waldheim<br />
And pontiff how are you? <br />
You have so much in common<br />
In the things you do<br />
<br />
And here comes jesse jackson<br />
He talks of common ground<br />
Does that common ground include me<br />
Or is it just a sound<br />
<br />
A sound that shakes<br />
Oh jesse, you must watch the sounds you make<br />
<br />
A sound that quakes<br />
There are fears that still reverberate<br />
<br />
Jesse you say common ground<br />
Does that include the plo? <br />
What about people right here right now<br />
Who fought for you not so long ago? <br />
<br />
The words that flow so freely<br />
Falling dancing from	your lips<br />
I hope that you don't cheapen them<br />
With a racist slip<br />
<br />
Oh common ground<br />
Is common ground a word or just a sound<br />
Common ground<br />
Remember those civil rights workers buried in the ground<br />
<br />
If I ran for president<br />
And once was a member of the klan<br />
Wouldn't you call me on it<br />
The way I call you on farrakhan<br />
<br />
And pontiff, pretty pontiff<br />
Can anyone shake your hand ? <br />
Or is it just that you like uniforms<br />
And someone kissing your hand<br />
<br />
Or is it true<br />
The common ground for me includes you too<br />
<br />
Oh, oh, is it true<br />
The common ground for me includes you too<br />
<br />
Good evening mr.waldheim<br />
Pontiff how are you<br />
As you both stroll through the woods at night<br />
I'm thinking thoughts of you<br />
<br />
And jesse you're inside my thoughts<br />
As the rhythmic words subside<br />
My common ground invites you in<br />
Or do you prefer to wait outside<br />
<br />
Or is it true<br />
The common ground for me is without you<br />
<br />
Or is it true<br />
The common ground for me is without you<br />
<br />
Oh is it true<br />
There's no ground common enough for me and you<br /><br />
