Hello to all friends of the draft resistance revolution in America
Good evening, I hope it stops raining
One thing about the draft resistance that's different from other
Movements and revolutions in this country in that we have no enemies
And it's one of the beautiful things about it
And to show that our hearts are in the right place
We'd sing a song for the Governor of California
Ronald RayGuns
He's a drug store truck drivin' man
And he's the head of the Ku Klux Klan
When summer comes rollin' around
We'll be lucky to get out of town
He's been like a father to me
He's like the only DJ you can hear after three
And I'm an all-night singer in a country band
And if he don't like me, he don't understand
He's a drug store truck drivin' man
He's the head of the Ku Klux Klan
When summer comes rollin' around
We'll be lucky to get out of town
He's got him a house on the hill
And he can play country records 'til you've had your fill
And he's a lawman's friend, he's an all-night DJ
Sure don't think much like the records he plays
He's a drug store truck drivin' man
He's the head of the Ku Klux Klan
When summer comes rollin' around
We'll be lucky to get out of town
He don't like resistance, I know
And he said it last night on a big TV show
And he's got him a medal that he won in the war
Weighs five hundred pounds, and it sleeps by the door
He's a drug store truck drivin' man
He's the head of the Ku Klux Klan
When summer comes rollin' around
We'll be lucky to get out of town
We'll be lucky to get out of town
I'd like to sing you a song that is one of
Um, my husband David's favorite songs
Anyway, this is an organizing song
And I was happy to find out that after David
Had been in jail for two and a half weeks
He already had a very, very good hunger
Strike going with forty-two federal prisoners
None of whom were draft people, so
