Shake the Foundations

from Sanity by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

The Young Unitarians were embracing Civil Rights
Heard our psychedelic experiments in communion could bring light
Invited us to the Conference, Shake the Church Foundations
The young people were curious, their parents in disarray

CHORUS
Step on the Stars and Stripes, grind them in the dirt
You forget what you stand for when you put the symbol first
Step on the Stars and Stripes, grind them in the dirt
You wanna shake the foundations or utter hollow words? “

For the intellectuals roughing it, smoking pipes in short sleeved shirts
I stepped on the flag and ground it in the dirt
A symbol of the games we play you’re caught up in a tangle
You can’t know an emotion til you’ve seen it from all angles

The conference officials said, you’re causing a divide
A bad example to young people, staying up all night
Having sex in the shower, living on a bus
Some of the Ministers have left in disgust
