Wrote A Song For Everyone

Wrote A Song For Everyone (Creedence Clearwater Revival)

Met myself a comin' county welfare line
I was feelin' strung out, hung out on the line
Saw myself a goin', down to war in June
All I want, all I want is to write myself a tune

Wrote a song for ev'ryone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for ev'ryone
When I couldn't even talk to you

Got myself arrested, wound me up in jail
Richmond 'bout to blow up, communication failed
If you see the answer, now's the time to say
All I want, all I want is to get you down to pray

Wrote a song for ev'ryone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for ev'ryone
When I couldn't even talk to you

Wrote a song for ev'ryone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for ev'ryone
When I couldn't even talk to you

Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains
Somebody said it's diff'rent now, look, it's just the same
Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth
They could have saved a million people, how can I tell you?

Wrote a song for ev'ryone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for ev'ryone
When I couldn't even talk to you

Wrote a song for ev'ryone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for ev'ryone
When I couldn't even talk to you

Wrote a song for ev'ryone
Wrote a song for truth
Wrote a song for ev'ryone
When I couldn't even talk to you

Songwriters
J. C. FOGERTY

　　這首歌John Fogerty寫於一九六九年，出於大碟Green River，那時正值越南戰爭，大批美國青年上街遊行示威，反對派兵參與不正義戰爭，甚至撕掉徵兵證，拒絕上戰場當砲灰，因此被捕入獄。
　　同事問點算，問會點收科。個人比較悲觀，只好說結果連想都唔敢想。
　　自從由香港變成特區香港，那班人毫無幽默感，拆去遊樂場、足球場，無音樂會，無偶像，不准開放電視，他們以為控制了傳媒便控制了思想，管治會更容易。
　　現在連特區香港人也失去幽默感，除了海濶天空，找不出幾首振奮士氣安慰心靈的歌曲。
　　前路係點無人會知道，也許風景沒有這裏優美，也許再見不到昔日燦爛笑容，也許會失望而回，縱有重重險阻，仍要奮力跨過，攜手一起攀上去看一看。
　　似是暴風雨來臨前夕的寧靜，豺狼始終是豺狼。如音樂一樣保持節奏，也如歌名一樣，寫一首屬於自己屬於每一個人的歌。
