Lyrics Patti Smith – New Party
Text:
You say hey
The state of the union
Is fine fine fine
I got the feeling that you’re lying
I think we need
Think we’re gonna need
A new party
They say to me
They say what’s the word
I say it’s thunderbird
I say it’s thunderbird
Why don’t you
Fly fly fly
Fly away hey
And while you’re at it
Why don’t you
Fertilize my lawn
Why don’t you
Fertilize my lawn
With what’s running from your mouth
Running from your mouth
Hey listen here
We got to get off
Our ass or get burned
The world’s troubles
Are a global concern
Does your child have
Fresh water to drink
Wherever you are
To think about this
When in the course
Of human events
It becomes necessary
To take things into your own hands
To take the water from the well
And declare it tainted by greed
We got to surely clean it up
Clean our house
Our inner house
Our outer house
Left right
And hey by the way
The human event
Is the party of the century
And you’re all invited
It’s where you are
Wherever you are
‘Cause this party
Is for everyone
And the price of admission
Is love one another
Love brother
