Come Gather Round - John Wesley Harding

Come gather round and listen

If you can get that near

If not well 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

Were so convinced were different

It makes us all the same

Come gather round and listen

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

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

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

Come gather round

Come gather round

Come gather round

Come gather round

Come gather round

Come gather round

Come gather round
