GUEST,DaveM ADD: Washington Square (from Pete Seeger) (42) RE: Lyr Req: Washington Square (from Pete Seeger) 14 Oct 11


Answer this prayer to God, call out the riot squad
Strike down guitarists, old Morris'll move (that's what it sounds like at least)

Believe there's an instrumental bridge here, then:

These guitar pickers are sadly misleaded
Gather them up boys and take them to jail
There's still a fire hose in case it is needed
The notions of City Hall are bound to prevail.
(then two lines I simply can't remember)
Down with the surging mass, up with the holy grass
Fight for the park's rights, ol' Morris on the move!

I have been thinking about this song since I first heard about the "Occupy Wall Street" folks. Hoped someone might have the lyrics. Now it's becoming a quest!
