Chapin, Harry - Last Of The Protest Singers Lyrics
He's the last of the protest singers,
Selling truth and commitment,
He don't get much work these days,
He's billed as a novelty act,
And he stands there with his thumb out,
That only he sees shining there,
They say he's a fool, and that's a fact,
Oh, oh, oh….
Yes he's the last of the protest singers,
Staring, as he's strumming,
For he sees the dark clouds coming now,
And he says he feels those first few drops,
He sees he cannot reach them,
So he tries to sing out louder,
He says, "should I give up and stop?"
Oh, oh, oh…
But I say, "that's really not good enough, cause there's enough of that kind of stuff"
And I say, "that's really not good enough, cause there's enough of that kind of stuff"
And he says, "I can't believe nobody cares anymore,
And he says, "I can't believe nobody shares anymore,
And he says, "I can't believe nobody cares like before,
He says, "I can't believe it's really true, don't you care anymore?"
Yes he's the last of the protest singers,
But sometimes I believe him,
As he stands on his cold street corner saying,
"It's what I say not what I am",
But late at night, I hold him,
He shivers and starts his crying and says,
"Should I just play some rock and roll,
cause nobody really gives a damn?"
Oh, oh, oh…
But I say, "that's really not good enough, cause there's enough of that kind of stuff"
And I say, "that's really not good enough, cause there's enough of that kind of stuff"
And he says, "I can't believe nobody cares anymore,
And he says, "I can't believe nobody shares anymore,
And he says, "I can't believe nobody cares like before,
He says, "I can't believe it's really true, don't you care anymore?"
Yes he's the last of the protest singers,
Selling truth and commitment,
He don't get much work these days,
He's billed as a novelty act,
And he stands there with his thumb out,
Hitching a ride towards the rainbow,
That only he sees shining there,
They say he's a fool, and that's a fact,
Oh, oh, oh…
There's enough of that kind of stuff!
But I say, "that's really not good enough, cause there's enough of that kind of stuff"
And I say, "that's really not good enough, cause there's enough of that kind of stuff"
And he says, "I can't believe nobody cares anymore,
And he says, "I can't believe nobody shares anymore,
And he says, "I can't believe nobody cares like before,
He says, "I can't believe it's really true, don't you care anymore?"

Chapin, Harry Last Of The Protest Singers Comments
I have a feeling a new generation of protest singers have been born.
saratogasevn, I wish. I was just wondering where they have all gone.
At least he's not doing the roman salute seen everywhere... even the Freemason's have been derailed and I say the Venetian black nobility has succeded in messing up society with indivualism, materialism, atheism, evolutionism, terrorism, narcissism does'nt care.
I may be getting paranoid but was suspecting he had an "accident" as many who did'nt please the goverment /corporations, killed in car accident, they dont want people too awake and be outspoken, dumping chemicals on us as fluoride, nazi used to docile prisonners. Pineal gland killer.
Harry and Pete are jammin' in folk heaven...:)
@Paul W must you make me ugly cry.
@donna ayres Hopefully, they're tears of joy, which is all Harry and Pete would want us crying!
@jcroth3 not my fault it is typed wrong in the lyrics, just trying to set the record straight
I had this cassette, and I listened to it at least 200 times.
thanks, no shitzu
the third line of the chorus is "i can't believe nobody's there like before"
