Comment (If All Men Are Truly Brothers)

I voted. And now I'm reading blogs and listening to The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. I thought I would post lyrics to this song, the song that I was listening to in the car before and after I voted. Available on Wilco's Kicking Television: Live in Chicago (written by Charles Wright). you have my love.

Watch out for your friends
Well, they may lose in the end
Sometimes they try to make you sin
But what is a man without a friend?

We all live within a game
The word excuse has many names
Where true friends really come
You can't afford to lose one

If all men were truly brothers
Why then, do we hurt one another?
Love and peace from ocean to ocean
Somebody please, second my emotion

All men were born to be free, yeah
What about you? And what about me?
This world is filled with hate, there's nothing left
If you enslave me, you'll never rescue yourself

Well, jealousy as I recall
Has always been man's hardest fall
To conquer fear, that's quite a quest
Until we do never rest

A child was born yesterday
Nothing but an innocent babe
Someone sowed a bitter seed
How could he grow but a bitter weed?

Society, how can you teach (I wanna know)
If you dont practice what you preach?
(That's right)

If all me where truly brothers
Why then, can't we love one another?
Love and peace from ocean to ocean
Somebody please, second my emotion

All men were born to be free
What about you? And what about me?
This world is filled with hate, there's nothing left
If you enslave me, you'll only hurt yourself

Hey you, over there, I want to know why you left
With all your riches and your fancy things,
Can you tell me how many friends
Can you truly say you have?
