I Wanna Go Down by Amergin (originally posted on this thread)

I wanna go down to Jackson, Mississippi
I wanna go down, to protest the war
I wanna go down to Jackson, Mississippi
To hear, to hear the students roar

I wanna go down to the university
I wanna go down just to learn
I wanna go down to the university
To watch, to watch the fires burn

I wanna walk down around the school
I wanna walk down across the lots
I wanna walk down around the school
To feel, to feel the pistol shots

I wanna run down into the open door
I wanna run down into the women's dorm
I wanna run down into the open door
To smell, to smell the coming storm

I wanna go back into our tragic past
I wanna go back, back those thirty years
I wanna go back into our tragic past
To taste, to taste the stinging tears

I don't want this to ever happen again
We don't need to be caught within their net
This tragedy will never happen again
Unless, unless, unless we all forget

I wanna go down to Jackson, Mississippi
I wanna go down, to protest the war
I wanna go down to Jackson, Mississippi
To hear, to hear the students roar
