Jim Hinde Shout Down the Wind for OWS

I was born and raised American
So proud to use that name
A flag of truth and justice
Defenders of the same
My eyes were opened in Vietnam
My pride was turned to shame
And my flag has flown at half mast ever since.

Chorus:
Shout down the wind of the storm clouds rolling in.
You know there must be something done but you don't know where to begin.
Don't give up and don't give in
And if you'll stand the street again,
I'll stand by your side and we'll shout down the wind.

Oh the cartoon vision of an uncle sam in a snow white cowboy hat
Riding freedom and democracy on a worldwide righteous path
If not for the dead and dying it would surely make me laugh
We're serving apple pie from the barrel of a gun.

Chorus

I think its time we took our country back
and I think you feel the same
We've become a nation of warlords,
Bullies by another name
If we stand for truth and justice
Well let that justice reign,
With the standing truth: Justice starts within.

Chorus
