Purple Mountain Jamboree Songtext
von Hard Working Americans

Over bridges made of ashes
From the embers of old flames
I lost my way and then my hope
Now hopefully my shame

All for one free for all
They say no two fall the same
Over bridges made of ashes
Let we all return from where we came

Over ample waves of gain to
Purple Mountain Jamboree
Where we always
Break out in handcuffs
From overexposure to the heat


Ain′t gonna be no tent city shakedown
Holding my wind up with its sail
I'm gonna change my mind in no time
Gonna be back school side
Riding that rail

All for one free for all
Calling all the great unwashed
Over bridges made of ashes
May we all return
To where we′re lost

Over ample waves of gain to
Purple Mountain Jamboree
Where we always
Break out in handcuffs
From overexposure to the heat
All for begging for change in the street

I am all for begging for change in the street
