Wrote a Song for Everyone

[Verse 1] Met myself a-coming county welfare line I was feeling strung out, hung out on the line Saw myself a-going 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 If you see the answer, now's the time to say All I want, all I want is to get you down to 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 [Instrumental Break] [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 standing thousand years in chains Somebody said it's different now, look, it's just the same Pharaohs 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 Wrote a song for everyone, wrote a song for truth Wrote a song for everyone and I couldn't even talk to you Wrote a song for everyone, wrote a song for truth Wrote a song for everyone and I couldn't even talk to you
