Patti Smith

New Party

You say, hey

The state of the union

Is fine, fine, fine, fine, fine

I got the feelin' that you're

Lyin', lyin', lyin', lyin', lyin'

And you say the state of the union

Well it's fine fine fine, so it's fine fine fine

I think you're lyin', lyin', lyin'

I think you're lyin', lyin', lyin'

I think we need, I think we need

A new party

They say to me, they say what's the word

I say it's thunderbird

Why don't you fly, fly, fly, fly away hey

They say, they say uh, they say uh nothin'

They say hey tell me what's the world

I say it's thunderbird

You 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 runnin' from your mouth

Runnin' from your mouth and uh

Hey listen here

We got, we got, we got uh 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, wherever you are you're invited

To think about this

When in the course of human events

It becomes necessary, necessary

To take things in your own hands

To take things, to take the water from the well

And declare, tainted by greed

In house so we clean it up

Clean our house, our inner house

Our outer house, in hey, hey

By the way the event of 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
