2 + 2 = ? Lyrics

Performed by Bob Seger

Yes, it's true I am a young man,
but I'm old enough to kill.
I don't wanna kill nobody,
but I must if you so will.
And if I raise my hand in question,
you just say that I'm a fool.
'Cause I got the gall to ask you,
Can you maybe change the rules?
And you stand and call me upstart;
Ask what answer can I find?
I ain't sayin' I'm a genius,

2+2 is on my mind...

Well, I knew a guy in high school,
just an average friendly guy.
And he had himself a girlfriend,
and you made them say goodbye.
Now he's buried in the mud,
of a foreign jungle land.
And his girl just sits and cries,
she just doesn't understand.
So you say he died for freedom,
well if he died to save your lives,
go ahead and call me yellow...

2+2 is on my mind

All I know is that I'm young,
and your rules they are old.
If I've got to kill to live,
then there's something left untold.
I'm no statesman, I'm no general.
I know that I'll never be.
It's the rules, not the soldier,
that are my real enemy.

I'm no prophet, I'm no rebel.
I'm just asking you why?
I just want a simple answer,
why it is I've got to die?
I'm the simple minded kind.

2+2 is on my mind.

2+2 Is on My Mind | Reviewer: TV Mike | 6/22/2006

This Song was one of Bob Seger's "regional hits" He was making the scene around the Detroit area when "2+2" "Heavy Music", and "East Side Story" were local hits. I remember a free concert at the Oakland Mall at 14 Mile and I-75 around 1967 or 1968. Later his national breakthrough hit "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" is regarded as his first big hit.

2+2 was a Vietnam protest song, These were good songs with great lyrics. I often wondered why they were never redone by Bob's later bands. Maybe it was owned by members of the Last Herd.
