From The Rock Patriot; Mark Farner...The CD: "For The People"
Look out-Here comes the truth...The haunting chorus refrains the question: "I wanna know what happened to: OF the people, BY the people, FOR the people??? From Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Rightous Rock!
These are the words to Mark Farner's song "For the People"
There's a ghost in the White House
The memory of a man,
A man who loved his people,
A patriot for this land
But we no longer prosper,
We just try to scrap up the dough,
We can't even pay the interest
On the money these idiots borrowed, *
People waking up there's a question I've got to ask,
I want to know what happened to,
All the people, by the people, for the people
We let it slip away to the government,
Money spent, can't pay the rent,
And it's just another day in America,
It's just another day in America,
It's just another day in America,
Another day back home. *
Apathy in the people,
Brained washed by TV, ... *
It makes me want to just throw up
When I think about the IRS,
People waking up there's a question
I've got to ask, *
I want to know what happened to,
All the people,
By the people, for the people
We let it slip away
Too much government, money spent,
Can't pay the rent,
And it's just another day in America,
It's just another day in America,
It's just another day in America,
Another day back home. *
Now do these words make sense to you, do you agree with what Mark is saying? Then get out there and call your radio station and demand "For the People" so other people can hear these words.
He should have stayed in GFR...but then, he might not have been doing new material like this.

The CD simply rocks - if you haven't heard anything new that you're excited about - then check out this 30+ year old veteran... he STILL ROCKS today - giving his message and keeping it real - Mark Farner rocks today just like he did 30+ years ago.

The best investment in our future as free people is to support Rock patriots, Mark Farner being the original "Message musician", the CD "For The People" is #1 in the guitar government of the founding fathers.Amen
