Review The Song (1)Print the Lyrics
Good evening Mr.Waldheim
and Pontiff how are you?
you have so much in common
in the things you do

And here comes Jesse Jackson
he talks of Common Ground
does that Common Ground include me
or is it just a sound

A sound that shakes
oh Jesse, you must watch the sounds you make

A sound that quakes
there are fears that still reverberate

Jesse you say Common Ground
does that include the PLO?
what about people right here right now
who fought for you not so long ago?

The words that flow so freely
falling dancing from your lips
I hope that you don't cheapen them
with a racist slip

Oh Common Ground
is Common Ground a word or just a sound
Common Ground
remember those civil rights workers buried in the ground

If I ran for President
and once was a member of the Klan
wouldn't you call me on it
the way I call you on Farrakhan

And Pontiff, pretty Pontiff
can anyone shake your hand ?
or is it just that you like uniforms
and someone kissing your hand

Or is it true
the Common Ground for me includes you too

Oh, oh, is it true
the Common Ground for me includes you too

Good evening Mr.Waldheim
pontiff how are you
as you both stroll through the woods at night
I'm thinking thoughts of you

And Jesse you're inside my thoughts
as the rhythmic words subside
my Common Ground invites you in
or do you prefer to wait outside

Or is it true
the Common Ground for me is without you

Or is it true
the Common Ground for me is without you

Oh is it true
there's no Ground Common enough for me and you

If you find some error in Good Evening Mr.Waldheim Lyrics,
would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You.




Review about Good Evening Mr.Waldheim

Common Ground | Reviewer: Susan Bruce | 11/29/2008

Oh, I was always in two minds about this one: I didn't like Jesse Jackson for most of the reasons he states except the PLO bit - but then, even Norman Mailer's unreasonable when it comes to Israel... Nevertheless, Jackson was by far the best alternative at the time and I think Lou Reed was unfair to him for that reason alone - what about the others?
