Solidarity

Hey kid! don’t you lean on me,

I wanna talk to you, about Solidarity,

Hey ma! I keep falling on my knees,

And I need you now in Solidarity;

Here we go, into this time zone,

Into the unknown, and I don’t know you

You don’t know me –

It’s such a grand slide,

The big roller coaster ride,

Still you can’t understand,

I’m on your side.

Hey kid! don’t you lean on me,

I wanna talk to you, about Solidarity,

Hey ma! I keep falling on my knees,

And I need you now in Solidarity;

Big guns, talking from Washington,

To people in Taiwan, Downing Street,London,

NATO and Western Alliance,

News on the hour,

And everyone’s screaming:

“We want power!”

Hey kid! don’t you lean on me,

I wanna talk to you, about Solidarity,

Hey ma! I keep falling on my knees,

And I need you now in Solidarity;

T.V. like a face in the mirror,

I ain’t a quitter – don’t you call me a sinner,

Sometimes – it all seems so futile,

But there’s so much that’s worthwhile,

And I just want to go on living.
