Bring tea for the Tillerman
Steak for the sun
Wine for the women who made the rain come
Seagulls sing your hearts away
'Cause while the sinners sin, the children play
Oh Lord how they play and play
For that happy day, for that happy day
Tea for the Tillerman (1970) -Cat Stevens
Perhaps Johnny Mac should try to use Cat's song, since he has not done well to date with his other campaign song choices (although the peace loving Yusuf Islam has somehow found his way onto George Bush's terrorist list). The Courant rock critic Eric Danton's column Foo Fighters denounce McCain campaign's use of 'My Hero' at rallies notes that the McGrumpy campaign "has gotten in trouble with one rocker after another -- John Mellencamp, Jackson Browne, Heart -- for using their songs without permission."
Won't get fooled again! Oh, I guess we did get fooled again, didn't we.
