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 don't 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
Wouldn't 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 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
I'm thinking thoughts of you
And
Jesse you're 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
There's
no Ground Common enough for me and you
