George Washington was president
Not just once but twice
And when they offered him a crown
He gave them this advice:

She found one thing was true
There was no room for purple
It was all RED WHITE and BLUE

We had a king once years ago
Back in days of yore
He showed us what kings are like
And we showed him the door

Got no need for royalty,

No Kings Here
For What it’s Worth
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Are getting so much resistance from behind
Time we stop…
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and a-carrying signs
Mostly say hooray for our side
It's time we stop…
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop…
The Times They Are A-Changin’
Come gather ’round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’
or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who that it’s namin’
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticizeWhat you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin’
Please get out of the new one
if you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin’
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’
Die Gedanken sind frei
Die Gedanken sind frei
My thoughts freely flower
Die Gedanken sind frei
My thoughts give me power
No scholar can map them
No hunter can trap them
No man can deny
Die Gedanken sind frei
I think as I please
And this gives me pleasure
My conscience decrees
This right I must treasure
My thoughts will not cater
To duke or dictator
No man can deny
Die Gedanken sind frei…
Should tyrants can take me
And throw me in prison
My thoughts will burst free
Like blossoms in season
Foundations may crumble
And structures may tumble
But free men shall cry
Die Gedanken sind frei
Die Gedanken sind frei…
Brother Can You Spare a Dime
They used to tell me I was building a dream, And so I followed the mob,
When there was earth to plow, Or guns to bear, I was always there, Right
on the job.
They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead.
Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?
Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad; Now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower up to the sun, brick and rivet and lime.
Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
Full of that yankee doodle dum.
Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell,
And I was the kid with the drum!
Say don't you remember?
They called me Al. It was Al all the time.
Why don't you remember?
I'm your pal. Say buddy, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
Full of that yankee doodle dum.
Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell,
And I was the kid with the drum!
Oh, say don't you remember?
They called me Al. It was Al all the time.
Say, don't you remember?
I'm your pal. Buddy, can you spare a dime?
It Could be a Wonderful World
Chorus
If we could consider each other
A neighbor a sister a brother
It could be a wonderful, wonderful world
It could be a wonderful world, oh yes
It could be a wonderful world.
If each little kid could have fresh milk each day
If each working folk had enough time for play
If each homeless soul had a safe place to stay
It could be a wonderful world, oh yes
It could be a wonderful world
Chorus
If there were no poor and the rich were content
If strangers were welcome wherever they went
If each of us knew what true happiness meant
It could be a wonderful world, oh yes
It could be a wonderful world
Chorus
THE HAMMER SONG
If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
If I had a BELL…
If I had a SONG…
Now I have a Hammer
And I have a Bell
And I have a Song to Sing
All over this land
It’s the HAMMER OF JUSTICE
It’s the BELL OF FREEDOM
It’s the SONG ABOUT LOVE between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land!
We Shall Not Be Moved

We’re fighting for our children. We Shall Not Be Moved! (X2)

Marching up the freedom land

Ain’t gonna let discrimination
Ain’t gonna let hatred
Ain’t gonna let oppression
Ain’t gonna let no war
Ain’t gonna let intolerance
Ain’t gonna let Nobody
What a Wonderful World
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying,
“How do you do?”
They’re really saying “I love you”
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever
know. And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world
And I think to myself,what a wonderful world.
