Before you can (G) call it (D) rad

How many (G) t-shirts must (D) one group (Bm) sell

Be-(D) fore it (G) knows that it's a (A) fad

And (D) how many (G) newsletters must (D) people read

Before they be-(G) come truly (A) sad

The (G) answer my (A) friends is (D) in the t-shirt (G) booth

The (G) answer is (A) in the t-shirt (D) booth

How many signatures must one petition have

Before it means a thing

How many songs must I learn by heart

Before I finally learn to sing

How many letters must I write to my Congressperson

Before I can hear freedom ring

The answer my friends is in the t-shirt booth

The answer is in the t-shirt booth

How many hours must I sit at this table

Before I earn my brownie points

Yes and how many circles must I hold hands in

Before I meet the fella that anoints

And how many years must I drown out my sorrows

In 6 packs of beer and big fat joints

The answer my friends is in the t-shirt booth...

How many protests must one body do

Before you are in with the in-crowd

How many chants must one chanter chant

Before she knows she's really loud

Yes and how many times must I raise my hand

Before my ideas are allowed

The answer my friends is in the t-shirt booth....

How many brochures must I read

Before I am educated

How many meetings must I go to before

I know that I'm fully integrated

Yes and how many weeks or months will it be

Before my interest has faded

The answer my friends is in the t-shirt booth....

Where can I find a public interest lawyer

One who will work for free

Where can I find his phone number to call

So that his only interest will be me

Yes and how many lawsuits must one lawyer file

Before the Earth will be free

The answer my friends is in the t-shirt booth

The answer is in the t-shirt booth
