(Words and Music by Joan Baez)       My name is Chaffey, I'm from Marriott, U.S.A.    I'm a high school graduate and I'm looking for a way    To chase my future down and lay it at my feet    So I can answer all the questions of my old friends on the street    I lie awake at night and I think about the years    The petty victories and all the hidden tears    And about the girl I love who had to set me free    She said she'd never marry anyone ambitionless as me       The Marriott Daily is delivered to my door    It brings the outside in and I've seen it all before    Though all my golden dreams and all my brazen schemes    May scatter like a rainbow on an open sea    Oh no, you won't find me staring down an M16    You took my brother from the Marriott High School all-star team    You took my brother from Marriott and from me       My dad's made window shades for twenty-seven years    He's had his share of laughter and an equal share of tears    And I still live in the second room of my parent's hall    My brother watches me from the stationary frame upon the wall    Mom tends the garden and occasionally perms her hair    She's not political, she sticks to her own affairs    But they voted the cowboy in and they think he's doing fine    He's created some very new and interesting, innovative lies       And the Marriott Daily is delivered to my door    It brings the outside in and I've seen it all before    Though all my golden dreams and all my brazen schemes    May scatter like a rainbow on the open sea    Oh no, you won't find me staring down an M16    You took my brother from the Marriott High School all-star team    You took my brother from Marriott and from me       We celebrated when they came home from Iran    We tied a bunch of yellow ribbons on the van    Drove into Marriott, went into church and prayed    But secretly I asked the Lord if this is how heroes are made    Speaking of heroes, a word about my dad    Son of mine, take your time 'cause now you're all we have    And if you refuse to go, I'll support you all the way    And that will surely be a first for the folks in Marriott, U.S.A.       And the Marriott Daily is delivered to my door    It brings the outside in and I've seen it all before    Though all my golden dreams and all my brazen schemes    May scatter like a rainbow on an open sea    Oh no, you won't find me staring down an M16    You took my brother from the Marriott High School all-star team    You took my brother from Marriott and from me       © 1982 Gabriel Earl Music (ASCAP)
