Lyrics: Rossington, Van Zant
Music: Rossington, Van Zant
Played by Luther Dickinson with
Phil Lesh & Friends in November 2013 as part of their (and American Jubilee's)
cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd album "(Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)".
Have you ever lived down in the ghetto
Have you ever felt the cold wind blow
If you don't know what I mean
Won't you stand up and scream
'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know
Too many lives they've spent across the ocean
Too much money been spent upon the moon
Well, until they make it right
I hope they never sleep at night
They better make some changes
And do it soon
They're gonna ruin the air we breathe, Lord have mercy
They're gonna ruin us all, by and by
I'm telling you all beware
I don't think they really care
I think they just sit up there
And just get high
