who sings the song good will hunting?

Words and music by John Kay, Jerry Edmonton, Nick St. Nicholas and Larry Byrom

(Monster)
Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And ’til the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

The blue and grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war over
They stuffed it just like a hog

And though the past has it’s share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But it’s protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it’s a monster and will not obey

(Suicide)
The spirit was freedom and justice
And it’s keepers seem generous and kind
It’s leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won’t pay it no mind
‘Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it’s all just an echo of what they’ve been told
Yeah, there’s a monster on the loose
It’s got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin’

Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin’ the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can’t understand
We don’t know how to mind our own business
‘Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who’s the winner
We can’t pay the cost
‘Cause there’s a monster on the loose
It’s got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watching

(America)
America where are you now?
Don’t you care about your sons and daughters?
Don’t you know we need you now
We can’t fight alone against the monster
Thanks for all answers. A lot of us have older family members who turned us on to Steppenwolf, and
some of them taped the albums on reel-to-reel. Bro or sis borrowed them from friends older than themselves. I like to call it “spreading the disease”, where the virus serves an escape route or exit sign from The Present Tense.

It was more about other things than Vietnam, I think. “Cities have turned into jungles”, could be a reference to
South Indonesia, but it depended on
where you lived. Now nobody’s
immune from crime or violence.
to the “un-asked” question, is there hazing on these boards? There most
certainly is. Most of that hazing, but not all is done by people who use any kind of vehicle, device, or method to make your or I feel guilty or stupid. When they themselves ever have anything to say that is fruitful, they love to attack ideas or people who don’t believe what their heros or role models believe. Don’t let people belittle or downgrade you for bucking the system, then you have won a battle most aren’t even aware is going on.

I’m trying to find this song for my mate and can’t find it anywhere…Our problem is that neither of us know the artist of the song…
