WE HAD HOPE - Lyrics & Music by Mitchell Hale

You think I'm out of my mind!
You think I'm out of my mind!
You can't change the facts by talking...
We had hope!

You think I'm out of my mind!
We had hope!
We had hope!
You can't change the facts by talking...

The millions of everyday Americans,
who are in the unemployment lines...
The millions of everyday Americans,
who are in the unemployment lines...
The millions of everyday Americans,
who are in the unemployment lines...
The millions of everyday Americans,
who are in the unemployment lines...

who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie, my doodie, my doodie...
who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie, my doodie, my doodie...
who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie, my doodie, my doodie...
who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie, my doodie, my doodie...

Individually they're weak, mentally incompetent like animals
Do you really think there's someone inside?
Is everybody in the world gonna die
before someone finds the answer?
You can't change the facts by talking...
You think I'm out of my mind!

The millions of everyday Americans:
Auto workers in Detroit,
who are in the unemployment lines...
The hardpressed lumberjacks in the Northwest,
who are in the unemployment lines...
The hardpressed steelworkers in Steubenville,
who are in the unemployment lines...
The black teenagers in Newark and Chicago,
who are in the unemployment lines...
The hardpressed farmers and small businessmen,
who are in the unemployment lines...
And the millions of everyday Americans...
You might be one of them!
We had hope!

who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie, my doodie, my doodie...
who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie, my doodie, my doodie...
who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie, my doodie, my doodie...
who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie,
who're in my doodie, my doodie, my doodie...
