Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Met myself a comin'
County welfare line
I was feelin' strung out
Hung out on the line
[PreChorus]
Saw myself a goin'
Down to war in June
All I want, all I want
Is to write myself a tune
[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you
[Verse 2]
Got myself arrested
Wound me up in jail
Richmond 'bout to blow up
Communication failed
[PreChorus]
If you see the answer
Now's the time to say
All I want, all I want
Is to get you down and pray
[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you
[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you
[Verse 3]
Saw the people standin'
Thousand years in chain
Somebody said it's different now
Look it's just the same
[PreChorus]
Pharoah's spin the message
'Round and 'round the truth
They could have saved a million people
How can I tell you
[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you
[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you
[Chorus]
Wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
And I couldn't even talk to you
