lyrics
We Have Been Here Before
by Tom Smith (ASCAP)
© 2020 Peabody Hill Publishing (ASCAP)
We have been here before
We have been here before
We can see the warnings they want us to ignore
We have been here before
We’ve heard that sound before
We’ve heard that sound before
The rattle of the sabres. The sharp’ning of swords
We’ve heard that sound before
We wrote this check before
We wrote this check before
Rich man plays with weapons paid for by the poor
We wrote this check before
We’ve sung this song before
We’ve sung this song before
We will not stop singin’. We’ll strike every chord
We’ve sung this song before
We have been here before
We have been here before
We can see the warnings they want us to ignore
We have been here before
We have been here before (2x)

We’ve heard that sound before

We’ve sung this song before

We’ve sung this song before
We have been here before
We have been here before
We can see the warnings they want us to ignore
We have been here before

about
Tom Smith Boston, Massachusetts
“Folk music is still a living tradition that feeds on new songs that speak of people’s wants, needs, struggles and triumphs. Tom Smith is a man who writes songs that seem like they’ve always been there. There are very few songwriters working today that I would call folksingers, but I would call Tom Smith a true folksinger.” – Dave Palmeter, WUMB-FM Boston ... more
