Mandolin Holy Man

Nine old friends drove cross-country
 On a mission of blessing and liberty
 Geared up in the morning and left right there
 To sing at the rally in Farragut Square
 They can put up a fence and keep out the crowd
 But you can't fence in a wall of sound
 So we headed downtown to serve it up loud
 Got pretty wet but it didn't bring us down
 METRO into Washington
 Gonna rock the national phallus down
 Drumming at the White House in the rain
 And we won't let up until they let us in
 Me and the mandolin holy man
 Me and the mandolin holy man
 Walking and walking and walking and walking
 And walking and walking the long way round
 To the giant chalice in the middle of town
 Better believe our time's well spent
 Throwing holy water at the monument
 Gonna drum all night, let em throw us in jail
 Rockin the Lincoln memorial
 METRO into Washington...
 The crowd was all smiles for the fireworks show
 We were right there, letting rhythm go
 With all the pictures people snapped
 Prob'ly see ourselves tomorrow on the internet
 Sometimes you do good that you'll never see
 Blasting out negativity
 Of the overthrow that'll surely come
 Bring it all back to a goatskin drum
 METRO into Washington...
 So it's all the way home on the orange line
 The whole band of gypsies and dr. sunshine
 Victory 100 smiles at a time
 And a story to tell for the rest of our lives
 We did what we set out to do
 Made a lot of people happy, too
 That's whatcha get when you lend a hand
 To the likes of the mandolin holy man
 This is land is your land, this land is my land
 Me and the mandolin holy man
 METRO into Washington...
 METRO'd into Washington
 We rocked the national phallus down
 Drummed at the White House in the rain
 And we never let up, soaked to the skin
 Maybe next year we'll do it again!
 Spinners and satyrs and kittens and drummers and ryan...
 And me and the mandolin holy man
 Me and the mandolin holy man
 This land is your land, this land is my land
 Me and the mandolin holy man
