Mary Chapin Carpenter
On With The Song

This isn't for the ones who blindly follow

Jingoistic bumper stickers telling you

To love it or leave it, and you'd better love Jesus

And get out of the way of the red, white and blue

This isn't for the ones who buy their six packs

At the 7-Eleven where the clerk makes change

Whose accent makes clear he sure ain't from here

They call him a camel jockey instead of his name

No this is for the ones who stand their ground

When the lines in the sand get deeper

When the whole world seems to be upside down

And the shots being taken get cheaper

This isn't for the ones who would gladly swallow

Everything their leader would have them know

Bowing and kissing, while the truth goes missing

Bring it on the crows, putting on his big show

This isn't for the man who can't count the bodies

Can't comfort the families, can't say when he's wrong

Claiming I'm the decider, like some sort of messiah

While another day passes and a hundred souls gone

This is for the ones that I see above me

Three little stars in a great big sky

Light for the world and hope for the weary

They try

This isn't for the ones with their radio signal

Calling for bonfires and boycotts they rave

Exhorting their listeners to spit on the sinners

While counting the bucks of advertising they'll save

This isn't for you and you know who you are

So do what you want 'cuz I know that you can

But I've got to be true to myself and to you

So on with the song, I don't give a damn


Mirror lyrics:

So on with the song, I don't give a damn

But I've got to be true to myself and to you

So do what you want 'cuz I know that you can

This isn't for you and you know who you are

While counting the bucks of advertising they'll save

Exhorting their listeners to spit on the sinners

Calling for bonfires and boycotts they rave

This isn't for the ones with their radio signal

They try

Light for the world and hope for the weary

Three little stars in a great big sky

This is for the ones that I see above me

While another day passes and a hundred souls gone

Claiming I'm the decider, like some sort of messiah

Can't comfort the families, can't say when he's wrong

This isn't for the man who can't count the bodies

Bring it on the crows, putting on his big show

Bowing and kissing, while the truth goes missing

Everything their leader would have them know

This isn't for the ones who would gladly swallow

And the shots being taken get cheaper

When the whole world seems to be upside down

When the lines in the sand get deeper

No this is for the ones who stand their ground

They call him a camel jockey instead of his name

Whose accent makes clear he sure ain't from here

At the 7-Eleven where the clerk makes change

This isn't for the ones who buy their six packs

And get out of the way of the red, white and blue

To love it or leave it, and you'd better love Jesus

Jingoistic bumper stickers telling you

This isn't for the ones who blindly follow
