Great Big Sea - Protest Song Lyrics

Great Big Sea Lyrics

"Protest Song"

Does the world really need another protest song?
Sing about everything going wrong
The revolution has come and gone
Does the world really need another protest song?

I want to sing for singing's own sake
I want to carry a tune
No message to give, no message to take
A melody will do

Does the world really need another protest song?
Sing about everything going wrong
The revolution has come and gone
Does the world really need another protest song?

I want a rhythm that moves my feet
Wild as the river runs
I've never wanted to march to the beat
Of somebody else's drum

Does the world really need another protest song?
Sing about everything going wrong
The revolution has come and gone
Does the world really need another protest song?

I'll tell you a story with this old guitar
Just three chords and the truth
Every good story is laced up with lies
And the best of those lies are half truth

Does the world really need another protest song?
Sing about everything going wrong
The revolution has come and gone
Does the world really need another protest song?

Does the world really need another protest song?
Sing about everything going wrong
The revolution has come and gone
Does the world really need another protest song?
Does the world really need another protest song?
