Ballad Of Red Rocks I Oh... I was there at Red Rocks in '71, and I saw the whole deal go down. I was one of the many came to see the show, and the good folks there on the grounds. I came to hang with my brothers and sisters, and to groove on Tull's rockin' sound. II Well the police showed like an occupying force; on the peaceful crowd they did descend. They had tear-gas, pepper-gas, dogs and clubs. Trouble clearly was their intent! No they weren't there to protect and serve. It seemed like they were Hades sent! CHORUS: It's a big damn lie! It's a big damn lie after all! When history's written by the winners, then the losers take the fall. Neither the truth of the matter nor right and wrong, are factored into it at all! When history's written by the winners, then the losers take the fall. III The police they were so belligerent; ---started pushin' concert-goers around. They were herding us like cattle into smaller groups, creating arbitrary bounds. Yeah, they were separating friends and lovers, with their arbitrary bounds. IV Well one young girl got cut off from the friends who brought her to the affair. She was scared and cryin', and she begged the cops to let her please cross over there... The police just laughed and told her “NO!” They said: “Listen girl, don't you dare!” Well she panicked and she went for it anyway, they sicked the dogs all over her! Then the crowd rose up in her defense, and it all went south from there! CHORUS: It's a big damn lie! It's a big damn lie after all! When history's written by the winners, then the losers take the fall. Neither the truth of the matter nor right and wrong, are factored into it at all! When history's written by the winners, then the losers take the fall. Guitar! V Well I somehow managed to get inside to safety as I did suppose. But the cops fired gas into the amphitheater on the innocents watching the show! As I struggled to breathe with my lungs on fire, there was one thing that I wanted to know: Why a force sworn to protect and serve turned a party into a war zone? VI I recently discovered the “official” account while surfing on the internet. It put all the blame on that crowd of kids; absolved the officers of all guilt. Well it filled my heart with sadness. The same stuff still happens today; and the facts about government-sanctioned evil tend to get swept away... CHORUS: It's a big damn lie! It's a big damn lie after all! When history's written by the winners, then the losers take the fall. Neither the truth of the matter nor right and wrong, get factored into it at all! When history's written by the winners, then the losers take the fall. CHORUS: It's a big damn lie! It's a big damn lie after all! When history's written by the winners, then the losers... take the fall.
