Met myself a comin' county welfare line
I was feelin' strung out, hung out on the line
Saw myself a goin', down to war in June
All I want, all I want is to write myself a tune
You know I wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
When I couldn't even talk to you
Got myself arrested, wound me up in jail
Richmond about to blow up, communication failed
If you see the answer, now's the time to say
All I want, all I want is to get you down to pray
You know I wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth (oh)
Wrote a song for everyone
When I couldn't even talk to you (oh you)
Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains
Somebody said it's different now, look, it's just the same
Pharoah's spin the message, 'round and 'round the truth
They could have saved a million people, tell me how can I tell you?
You know I wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
When I couldn't even talk to you
You know I wrote a song for everyone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for everyone
But I couldn't even talk to you
Just let me talk to you
