Lyrics:

Good Evening Mr.waldheim

and Pontiff How Are You

you Have So Much In Common

in The Things You Do


and Here Comes Jesse Jackson

he Talks Of Common Ground

does That Common Ground Include Me

or 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 Now

who Fought For You Not So Long Ago


the Words That Flow So Freely

falling Dancing From your Lips

i Hope That You Dont Cheapen Them

with 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

wouldnt 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 Uniforms

and Someone Kissing Your Hand


or Is It True

the Common Ground For Me Includes You Too


oh, 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

im Thinking Thoughts Of You


and Jesse Youre Inside My Thoughts

as The Rhythmic Words Subside

my Common Ground Invites You In

or 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

theres No Ground Common Enough For Me And You
