    This is probably what epitomizes Jesus Freak Music when I think of the term. It's got that deep 60s psychedelic sound that has you picturing the band living on a commune and riding an old school bus to get to shows. If you close your eyes tight enough, you can almost smell the patchouli. The whole album, 1973s My Poor Generation is fantastic, and totally worth a listen if you dig this sound.



    Lyrics:

    Out of the backwoods of the Mississippi delta
    Came Elder White to fight for civil rights
    Was he right?
    He and Sister Brown, they went to town
    Tried to ride a bus, people called it lust
    Were they right?

    Out of the swamp of Louisiana
    Came a young man, played Gospel piano
    He joined Elder White to fight for civil rights
    Was he right?

    He and Sister Black, they broke their back
    In a sit-down strike, they didn't believe in force or might
    We think they were right.

    How low can a snake crawl?
    Can a man mount up any higher?
    Away to the north I see whole cities on fire
    They said peace and love was their only desire
    Oh, America! Oh, America!
    I see the seas rolling in on you
    While high on the mountaintops
    The vultures behold the view
    Oh, America! Oh, America!
    Remember the one they crucified
    His mother was a Jew.
