What did you Learn in the News Today - Pete Seeger cover

WHAT DID YOU LEARN IN THE NEWS TODAY?

What did you learn in the news today
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in the news today
Dear little boy of mine?

I learned our Government must be strong
It's always right and never wrong
Our leaders are the finest men
And we elect them again and again
That's what I learned in the news today
That's what I learned in the news

I learned that war is not so bad
I learned about the great ones we have had
We fought in Germany and in France
And someday I might get my chance
That's what I learned in the news today
That's what I learned in the news

MY RAINBOW RACE

Some folks want to live like an ostrich
bury their heads in the sand
Some hope that plastic dreams
can unclutch those greedy hands

Some want to take the easy way
Poisons, bombs, they think we need them
Don't they know you can't kill all the unbelievers
There's no short cut to freedom

One blue sky above us
One ocean lapping all our shores
One earth so green and round
Who could ask for more

And because I love you
I'll give it one more try
To show my rainbow race
It's too soon, too soon to die
