Im tired of moon-songs of star and of june songs, They simply make me nap And ditties romantic drive me nearly frantic I think theyre all full of pap Historys making, nations are quaking Why sing of stars above For while we are waiting father times creating New things to be singing of Sing me a song with social significance All other tunes are taboo I want a ditty with heat in it, Appealing with feeling and meat in it! Sing me a song with social significance Or you can sing til youre blue Let meaning shine from evry line Or I wont love you Sing me of wars and sing me of breadlines Tell me of front page news Sing me of strikes and last minute headlines Dress your observation in syncopation! Sing me a song with social significance Theres nothing else that will do It must get hot with what is what Or I wont love you. I want a song thats satirical And putting the mere into miracle It must be packed with social fact Or I wont love you Sing me of kings and confrences martial Tell me of mills and mines Sing me of courts that arent impartial Whats to be done with em tell me in rhythm Sing me a song with social significance Theres nothing else that will do It must be tense with common sense Or I wont love you.
