Rockland

Hold back the edges of your gowns You asked for hell, elected clowns With no dissent for how things are Or gently pushed beneath a car Our leaders are assassins' friends And we aren't needed for their ends No industry or open wars So cut health care and lock the doors But I'm with you if you're with me Take my hand, I'm with you in Rockland I'm with you in Rockland And don't it make you want to howl So where's the champion Of Mary Queen O'Scots? And liberty and chivalry To damn the MI5 for C.N.D I need someone with a memory Of what we used to mean by morally And all we can find is old Jack Ruby When the victor rewrites history The napalm lights his vanity I'm with you if you're with me Take my hand, I'm with you in Rockland I'm with you in Rockland And don't it make you want to howl Josephine the singer called She made a comeback in the psychiatric ward Where the shock is mightier than the sword And the adverts obscure the blackboard And chalk is something we can't afford And the only class is how to be bored But my hopes are still on the soul horse This is my Woody for president waltz 'Cause I'm with you if you're with me Take my hand, I'm with you in Rockland I'm with you in Rockland And don't it make you want to howl
