Lyrics - Good Evening Mr. Waldheim by Reed Lou

Good evening
Mr.
Waldheimand
Pontiff how are you?
You have so much in commonin the things you do
And here comes
Jesse
Jackson
He talks of
Common
Ground
Does that
Common
Ground include meor is it just a sound
A sound that shakes
Oh
Jesse, you must watch the sounds you make
A sound that quakes
There are fears that still reverberate
Jesse you say
Common
Ground
Does that include the
PLO?
What about people right here right nowwho fought for you not so long ago?
The words that flow so freelyfalling dancing from your lips
I hope that you don't cheapen themwith a racist slip
Oh
Common
Ground
Is
Common
Ground a word or just a sound
Common
Ground---remember those civil rights workers buried in the ground
If
I ran for
President and once was a member of the
Klan
Wouldn't you call me on it
The way
I call you on
Farrakhan
And
Pontiff, pretty
Pontiff
Can anyone shake your hand?
Or is it just that you like uniformsand someone kissing your hand
Or is it true
The
Common
Ground for me includes you too
Oh is it true the
Common
Ground for me includes you too
Good evening
Mr.
Waldheim
Pontiff how are you
As you both stroll through the woods at night
I'm thinking thoughts of you
And
Jesse you're inside my thoughts
As the rhythmic words subside
My
Common
Ground invites you inor do you prefer to wait outside
Or is it true
The
Common
Ground for me is without you
Or is it true
The
Common
Ground for me is without you
Oh is it true
There's no
Ground
Common enough for me and you
