this ones a rockin kind of number... it's a toe-tapper

I read something in the paper that said that a photographer in Mexico City got thousands of people to take off their close in the middle of the city and he took a picture of them... that seemed worthy of a song, at least to my way of thinking...

18,000 people took off their clothes
down in Mexico City and they struck a pose
while a fellow named Tom
( from a crane in the air )
took a picture of them in their skin and their hair
just their skin and their hair
just their skin and their hair
what makes folks carry on that way
desperate times call for desperate measures
they say
a whole bunch of people outside a newspaper
sat down to read in downtown Atlanta
to protest the fact that in these video ages
nobody much reads, so they sat turning the pages
they turned the pages
they sat turning those pages
what makes folks carry on that way
desperate times call for desperate measures,
they say
we all do what we can to effect a change
though our ways are different and they might seem strange
we all take our power and try to make things right
to light the flame and to shine it bright
10,000,000 people all around this world
rolled together in a synchronous swirl
the idea being (under the star above )
they'd wrap the world in a blanket of love
they'd wrap the world in love
wrap up the world with love
what makes folks carry on that way
desperate times call for desperate measures...
they say
