Rich Somerville’s mainly a working class town
with government places where lawyers swing ’round
religion’s still practiced and ethics abounds
and middle class neighbors are poorer, somehow
There’re chain stores on Main Street and many small shops
and restaurant tables where servers are stars
with India, China and Italy’s charm
in Somerville station New Jersey, see far
A place where there’s singing, performers with songs
the locals bring autos (restored) and they talk
you come to the table, respect, and bring more
with Somerville’s people you’ll see where we walk
All poor, we are calling ’cause all here will die it’s peace that we’re after but somehow it’s lies with “high” in high places and pride of this life we’re leaving our mother to wean like a child
From Somerset County, New Jersey for the Rest of the earth Let everyone be thankful this Thanksgiving season
