Subject: Lyr Add: UNCLE SAM'S BREAK
Uncle Sam's Break
            
Chorus: Uncle Sam's gonna take a break. Uncle Sam's gonna take a break.

I can't stand this mess I've gotten us into         
So now's your chance, people see what you can do.

1. You can't make a dollar over a dime, if you want to get on this plan of mine.
   The rich get richer, and the poor stay poor
   And we always need more and more.

Chorus

2. Acid rain it's a coming down.
    The earth will soon be one burial ground.
    Love canal, it's an example, send your water in to be sampled.

Chorus

3. The arms race is on, the waste is building.
    What good is it all, when it's just killing?
    Come young men it's time for registration, while your signing I'll be on vacation.

Chorus

4. The peace talks are going okay
    But where the hell is the U.S.A.?
    Do not worry, I won't draft you boys. When we have war, I'll put up decoys.

Chorus

5. We can all sit and talk about the problems in our land
    But now's the time we have to take a stand.
    'cuz Uncle sam's gonna take a break


6. It's up to you, it's up to me
    To change the world and what we see.
    We better do it now and we better do it fast, 'cuz Uncle Sam's break won't last.

Chorus-Repeat and fade out.


I wrote this around 1988, I was weird then too!
