"I Gave My Love A Kerry" lyrics - MAGGIE & TERRE ROCHE

I gave my love a kerry who had no disdain
For peoples of the country from which he came
America the beautiful he fought in your name
And not for the halliburton company's gain

America the beautiful I grew up inside you
To hear my teachers say democracy was good and true
In other places there was nothing that a soul could do
To fight the dark oppression of their leaders' bloody coup

I never thought that I would see a coup in my homeland
But that is what happened and I think you understand
That we are in a crisis and we need every woman and man
To win back our America it's time to take a stand

Let's give ourselves a president who has no ties
To those who would use Jesus' words to tell big lies
About the moral high road and justice in the skies
While turning their backs on suffering and other peoples' cries

How can there be a president who has no ties
To those who would use Jesus' words to tell big lies
If you think you can't see clearly and that you must compromise
There's strength in our number and here's what that buys

I'm givin' my love a present and that's my vote
If everyone would do this it would be an antidote
To the vicious wolf that's hiding in a sheep's expensive coat
Republican and democrat we're all in the same boat

So cast your vote for kerry in the autumn of this year
And let's not trade our liberties for freedom from our fear
The enemy that we perceive is not out there he's here
But you are stronger than you think, America, my dear
You are stronger thank you think, America, my dear
