Come Gather Round lyrics

Artist  : John Wesley Harding 
Song : Come Gather Round
 
Come gather round and listen, if you can get that
near
If not, we’ll use a microphone so all poor souls
can hear
And hold hands in a circle, or stare bored
straight ahead
Rejoice in your rebellion, or wish you were in
bed

Come gather round and liten, or watch it on the
screen
The campfire burned out long ago, the songs all
got obscene
And left us with some rich kids trying hard to be
sincere
Let it fly straight out the other after going in
one ear


Come gather round--from the kings and the queens
on down
If you listen close, you can hear the sound
Of a human voice saying "come gather
round"
Come gather round


So listen to my story, though I haven’t yet
begun
We have to cut through so much crap to have a
little fun
And who are "we" now anyway to even
earn the name? 
We’re so convinced we’re different, it makes us
all the same


Don’t fall for the maturity
It ain’t real
They just call it "integrity"
Please don’t grow up
Please blow up your tv


Come all you desperate rebels and hang your heads
in shame
For those who live in self-contempt with just
themselves to blame
And for those who can, who do nothing, and those
who can’t, who succeed
To cry out "bloody murder" the moment
that they bleed...


Come gather round--from the kings and the queen
on down
If you listen close, you can hear the sound
Of a human voice saying "come gather
round"
Come gather round
