The Moss

Hey Robert Zimmerman, you’re looking kinda down
Walkin' lonely with your guitar through small town after town
And no one remembers you
And no one really cares
‘Cause this ain’t the '60s anymore
And we’ve ignored your prayers
So the revolution’s over
The white war pigs have won
There’s no longer necessity
For progressive protest songs
They’ve taken all our freedom
And slowly steal our lives
Just ‘cause they’re authority
Doesn’t make it right
Dear Mr. Ochs, I know you feel so alone
You’ve done your justice, now it’s time to go home
You’ve done all you can
Ending the war in Vietnam
But we’ve moved onto bigger things
Killing our fellow man
So the revolution’s over
The white war pigs have won
There’s no longer necessity
For progressive protest songs
They’ve taken all our freedom
And slowly steal our lives
Just ‘cause they’re authority
Doesn’t make it right
For a moment there was hope
And somehow it was gone
I can’t pretend to understand
I know I’m much too young
But we’re not all that different
You '60s kids and I
‘Cause you’ve got Civil Rights
And ours are down the line
And Woody Guthrie, can you hear the whistle blow?
You built this protest and you didn’t even know
There’s no stopping us now
And our actions will not slow
But without our leader it only goes to show
That the —
Revolution’s over
The white war pigs have won
There’s no longer necessity
For progressive protest songs
They’ve taken all our freedom
And slowly steal our lives
Just ‘cause they’re authority
Doesn’t make it right
The revolution’s over
The white war pigs have won
There’s no longer necessity
For progressive protest songs
They’ve taken all our freedom
And slowly steal our lives
Just ‘cause they’re authority
Doesn’t make it right
