Lyrics
Where, oh where, is Emerson boys
has Longfellow been lost through the noise
Thoreau, Thoreau, didn't just come & go
God spoke through Harriet Beecher Stowe
Where, oh where, is Emerson boys
where is Longfellow's gentle voice
Dostoevsky, the healer of souls
is redemptions mad prophet,
just a compassionate ghost
(giant Chorus)
Hear voices from the grave
speak wisdom and truth, hope
to the enslaved
saturated media blitzed
the keys to the cage are lost in the midst
of a corporate democracy
where might is right
and curse-ed are the meek
the fight for freedom is waged in the soul
it's the soul vs. fast food, and reality shows
internet porn, walmart, status quo
apathy, inertia..... prosperity knows
it's a long long road
it's a long long road
Where did Emerson go boys
Where is Dickens, Dante, and Tolstoy
Kafka , Hesse, Victor Hugo
Dostoevsky, and our own Longfellow
(repeat giant Chorus)
Where, oh where, is Emerson boys
Where is Longfellow's gentle voice
Thoreau, Thoreau, didn't just come & go
God spoke through Harriet Beecher Stowe
Les Miserable
the Brothers Karamazov
Self Reliance, Dante's Inferno,
Waldon and Great Expectations, o'
War and Peace and Metamorphosis know
it's a long long road, it's along long road
