Little Town, Little People Lyrics by Doc Corbin Dart

Patricia

1990

We went from house to house in search for you
Some laughed, some told us it was worthless, too
It wasn't long before we reached our first goal
Looked around for help and still we couldn't find a soul
The liberals in this town are quick to get jealous and I understand
They never did nothing for nobody, of course they wouldn't lend a hand
Some folks would look at me with hope in their eyes
Even though I know their hope had long since died
I couldn't help but wonder when the help would come
Two-faced activism never got us none
They think they will liberate Africa as Blacks rot in our country jail
They've got a t-shirt and a sticker and their skin looks kinda pale
But a conscience can be cleared a whole lot easier nowadays
You just weaken yourself on health food and keep up with the current activist craze
[Chorus]
You escalate the war on cigarettes
Your foreign car makes my air filthier
We passed the word along as best we could
Women raped no money spent the way it should
Millions gone and now the golf course looks so good
The people who supported us were sadly misinformed
A right-wing bigot loves me because I said something about porn
The press they butchered everything and again I understand
Disinformation is the key to
(Beep)
So if you wonder how I gained a dream of yours and mine
Just open up a newspaper and read between the lines
[Chorus]
You escalate the war on cigarettes
I'm not sure how I could be more impressed
Your power source must be in short supply
You can't speak clearly yet you wonder why
(guitar)
It might be too much work to fight a war that you can win
So wear your t-shirt to a rally and get yourself on the news again
The cops were beating up a black man on your street the other night
While you were smoking pot and saving the world, or thinking that you might
The helicopter overhead, it got you so annoyed
Because you can't impact a little town, your influence is void
You watched the rally on TV, your voice was really heard!
You think you saved South Africa, your life is so absurd
[Chorus]
You still compare El Salvador to Vietnam
If you're that hard up for slogans better ask your mom
