Pop Song 368 of 500 'Tell all the people' The Doors 1969
Pop Song 368 of 500 'Tell all the people' The Doors 1969
Doors guitarist Robby Krieger wrote this, as well as most of the songs on The Soft Parade. He thought it was perfect for Jim Morrison to sing, but Morrison did not want to be associated with this song was because of the negative imagery in the lyrics. "Tell all the people get your guns...," was the phrase that made Jim Morrison hate this song. Krieger was referring to an event where certain rednecks violently beat him and Doors drummer John Densmore. This also explains why you see them on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour with black eyes playing "Touch Me."
This song prompted Morrison to insist on individual writing credits so people could identify which band member wrote which songs. He did not want anyone to think he wrote this.
Tell all the people that you see
Follow me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Set them free
Follow me down
You tell them they don't have to run
We're gonna pick up everyone
Come out and take me by my hand
Gonna bury all our troubles in the sand, oh yeah
Can't you see the wonder at your feet
Your life's complete
Follow me down
Can't you see me growing, get your guns
The time has come
To follow me down
Follow me across the sea
Where milky babies seem to be
Molded, flowing revelry
With the one that set them free
Tell all the people that you see
It's just me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Follow me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
We'll be free
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
It's just me
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
Follow me
Follow me down
Follow me down
You got to follow me down
Follow me down
Tell all the people that you see
We'll be free
Follow me down
Tell all the people you see
Follow me
You got to follow me down
