Sing a Song

I made a bed for you to sleep in
'Cause I'm not comin' home tonight
I told a friend that I was leavin'
I got to try to set things right
Now you ask me where I'm goin'
To tell you truthfully I don't know, oh no
Where all the minds like mine are flowin'
From west of Berkeley to Chicago

I tell you brother, we're in trouble
Black or white or in between
Somebody like the man or maybe Ronald
Reagan's tryin' to burst your bubble
They say that love ain't all that we need
Shout it down from the highest buildings
You can read it, you can read it in the
Paper, read it in the paper every day
Come on and help us with our killin'
Here at home and far away

I tell you brother, I can't stand it
I got to tell you that they are wrong
And they won't try to understand it
All we can do is sing a song

Hey, sing a song, sing a song
Sing a song, sing a song, come on and sing
Sing a song, sing a song, come on
Sing a song, sing a song and sing

Everybody knows at least one little song
Everybody knows a little song we can't
Quit singin' when everything's goin' wrong
Take the time to sing a song every time there's somethin' wrong
Sing a little song every time you find
That somethin's wrong, it's okay now
Everybody oughta take a time to sing a song now and change their mind
Singin' is the thing to do if you're gonna do it, do it too, anyway

Sing it, come on and sing a song now
Come on, come on, come on, come on now
Sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, ow
Sing a song, sing a song, sing a song, sing a song
Sing a song, sing a song, sing a song, sing a song, sing
