NP nor Pandemic. We can all talk about this new song and why Bob released it now?

[ish mailian]

As I listen and read D's MMF I hear a Big We
So, lookin back at what d said about oswald
then wrote to explain and expound
he talked about the WE, and he rejected the WE,
and he foregrounded I
but here he's so much older now and lookin back at when he was so much
younger then,
so was the nation, young, younger than We are now

when I spoke of Lee Oswald, I was speakin of the times
I was not speakin of his deed if it was his deed.
the deed speaks for itself
but I am sick
so sick
at hearin "we all share the blame" for every
church bombing, gun battle, mine disaster,
poverty explosion, an president killing that
comes about.
it is so easy t say "we" an bow our heads together
I must say "I" alone an bow my head alone
for it is I alone who is livin my life
I have beloved companions but they do not
eat nor sleep for me
an even they must say "I"
yes  if there's violence in the times then
there must be violence in me
I am not a perfect mute.
I hear the thunder an I cant avoid hearin it
once this is straight between us, it's then an
only then that we can say "we" an really mean
it... an go on from there t do something about
it
