ONE MILLION LAWYERS (Tom Paxton) Cho: In ten years we're gonna have one million lawyers One million lawyers, one million lawyers In ten years we're gonna have one million lawyers How much can a poor nation stand Humankind has survived some disasters for sure Like locusts and flash floods and flu There's never a moment when we've been secure From the ills that the flesh is heir to If it isn't a war it's some gruesome disease If it isn't disease then it's war But there's worse still to come, and I'm asking you, please How the world's gonna take any more The world shook with dread of Attila the Hun As he conquered with fire and steel And Genghis and Kubla and all of the Khans Ground a groaning world under the heel Disaster, disaster - so what else is new We've suffered the worst, and then some So I'm sorry to tell you, my suffering friends Of the terrible scourge still to come Oh, a suffering world cries for mercy As far as the eye can see Lawyers around every bend in the road Lawyers in every tree Lawyers in restaurants Lawyers in clubs Lawyers behind every door Behind windows and potted plants Shade trees and shrubs Lawyers on pogo sticks Lawyers in politics In ten years we're gonna have one million lawyers How much can a poor nation stand In spring it's tornados and rampaging floods In summer it's heat stroke and drought There's Ivy League football to ruin the fall It's a terrible scourge without doubt There are blizzards to batter the shivering plain There are dust storms that strike, but far worse Is the threat of disaster to shrivel the brain It's the threat of implacable curse @law filename[ MILLAWYR XX |
