He went to the Appalachians
and he saw what we all have seen
Where people live on bread and soup,
He saw the hungry children and he
photographed the ragged clothes
I guess we're gonna try to tell
Then he went to the medicare centers
and he saw the old people there
It seems that the young generation just
didn't want 'em in their hair
He saw the poor man workin' it out
while the mighty rich lives high
And my friend that brings a gleam
