Play me a song (With the same 4 chords)
Dane Stauffer © 2006

A song for the mothers tired with chores
Holding their dreams in their furrowed brows
A song for the school kids buying passes
searching for meaning in concrete plazas
A song for the warriors doing what they got to do to prepare to die
A song for others who want to laugh like lovers and float like the sky

A song for the fathers traveling all alone
Wondering will they ever really be known
A song for the Anchorman fixing his hair
And the editor fixing what he’ll say out there
A song for the spy who turned the screw that
Snuffed out Senator you- know -who
Yeah and a song for you who could teach that spy a thing or two

Play me a song with the same four chords
Kinda like da kine that I heard before
Play me a song that’ll save my soul and
Put it up on the radio

A song for the guys cruising the beaches
A song for the workers picking the peaches
A song for the upper upper classes
A song for the dreaming teeming masses

A song of gratitude
A song of peace
A song about beauty and the beasts
A song that laughs and a song that swings
And has colors and stories and everything

This ain’t the last time the we write this song that we write this song
Play me a song with the same three chords
