Come Gather Round Songtext

Come Gather RoundCome gather round and listen, if you can get that nearIf not, we'll use a microphone so all poor souls can hearAnd hold hands in a circle, or stare bored straight aheadRejoice in your rebellion, or wish you were in bedCome gather round and liten, or watch it on the screenThe campfire burned out long ago, the songs all got obsceneAnd left us with some rich kids trying hard to be sincereLet it fly straight out the other after going in one earCome gather round--from the kings and the queens on downIf you listen close, you can hear the soundOf a human voice saying "Come Gather Round"Come Gather RoundSo listen to my story, though I haven't yet begunWe have to cut through so much crap to have a little funAnd who are "we" now anyway to even earn the name?We're so convinced we're different, it makes us all the sameDon't fall for the maturityIt ain't realThey just call it "integrity"Please don't grow upPlease blow up your TVCome all you desperate rebels and hang your heads in shameFor those who live in self-contempt with just themselves to blameAnd for those who can, who do nothing, and those who can't, who succeedTo cry out "bloody murder" the moment that they bleed...Come gather round--from the kings and the queen on downIfy ou listen close, you can hear the soundOf a human voice saying "Come Gather Round"Come Gather Round
