Текст песни In Forty Days - Joan Baez
"'Joan:"'
Yessee,
Yessee.
Uh,
huh.
I
will
do
that
What
time
does
the
meeting
start?
He
may
be
a
little
late,
because
he's
writing,
writing,
writing
But
anyway,
he'll
come
down
I'll
have
him
do
that.
You're
welcome.
Bye
Bye
"'David:"'
In
forty
days
I'm
going
to
be
busted
for
three
years
For
refusing
to
cooperate
with
the
draft
I
mean,
the
initial
presumption
Of
something
like
military
conscription
Is
that
the
lives
of
the
people
subject
to
it
Don't
belong
to
those
people
I
mean,
that
those
lives
exist
As
tools
and
property
of
the
state
I
mean,
when
you're
given
a
draft
card
It's
a
very
simple
statement
I
mean,
it's
like
a
deed
of
ownership
It
says
the
life
of
the
bearer
Belongs
to
the
United
States
of
America
And
its
government
and
the
society
it
represents
To
be
used
as
those
things
see
fit
"'Joan:"'
Hot
soul
baby!
"'David:"'
Yeah,
well
how
come
you're
not
sure
about
that?
That's
right
on
and
classic
"'Joan:"'
It's
not
being
sure
about
that
It's
that
I
feel
like,
I
feel
as
thought
I'm
mimicking
Like
I
could
never
sing
the
blues
because
I
mean,
what's
an
eighteen
year-old
Middle-class,
well-fed,
well
dressed
American
chick
Got
doing
singing
the
blues?
You
know,
so
I
never?
what
I
sing
"'David:"'
I
mean,
if
you
think
about
fears
It
really
makes
people
blind
You
know,
it
allows
grown
men
To
drop
jellied
gasoline
on
children
Which
is
what
does
happen
every
day
It's
exactly
that
kind
of
blindness
that
allows
A
few
men
to
live
off
In
luxury
off
the
starvation
of
thousands
upon
thousands
I
mean,
maybe
the
best
way
to
explain
Why
that
process
happens
in
the
world
is
to
say
We
live
in
a
blind
society
I
mean,
a
society
that
is
blind
to
itself
Is
blind
to
the
rest
of
the
world
"'Joan:"'
When
I
listen
to
music
there's
spiritual
And
very
spiritual
music,
sort
of
mental
spiritual
music
Which
is
all,
you
know,
classical
And
then
there's
these
funny
levels
Somewhere
at
the
bottom
of
it
There's
gut
music
Not
that
it's
bad,
because
there
are
times
When
gut
music
is
the
only
thing
that
can
move
you
The
only
thing
you
feel
Why
is
that
less
than
any
other
one?
"'David:"'
Three
years
ago
noncooperation
with
the
draft
Was
not
a
reality
There
were
a
few
people
who
did
it
But
you
know,
by
and
large,
nobody
knew
about
it
And
nobody
had
any
idea
that
it
was
possible
For
them
to
do
that
And
I
remember,
you
know,
when
I
first
sent
My
first
draft
card
back,
and
I
was
Student
body
president
at
Stanford
And
going
out
on
White's
Claw
at
Stanford
And
you
know,
hey,
I
just
sent
my
draft
card
back
And
people,
you
know
people's
reaction
was
You
know,
Jesus,
the
cat's
crazy,
you
know
And
then
they
watched,
and
suddenly
that
became
a
reality
Because
everyone,
a
lot
of
those
people
who
thought
I
was
crazy
Sent
their
draft
cards
back
You
know,
it
doesn't
matter
whether
Richard
Nixon
Wants
to
have
an
army
If
are
there
are
no
soldiers
Richard
Nixon
can't
have
an
army
I
mean,
if
the
people
of
this
country
Decide
that
they
aren't
going
to
be
part
of
that
army
Then
there's
not
going
to
be
an
army
"'Joan:"'
They're
going
to
have
to
relate
to
my
life
They're
going
to
have
to
relate
to
the
fact
That
I'm
always
telling
people
to
go
a
step
beyond
entertaining
And
go
a
a
step
beyond
just
filling
people's
heads
with
something
You
know,
like
I
refuse
to
call
myself
an
entertainer
I
refuse
to
be
an
entertainer
I
refuse
to
let
an
evening
go
by
With
just
having
had
people
be
entertained
