HOUSTON - He was intimate with the counterculture in the 1960s and a Texas prison in the 1980s. Now the current decade has prompted David Crosby to train his pen and his voice on corporate crime - primarily Enron and its founder, Kenneth Lay.

The 5 1/2-minute song "They Want It All" that Crosby wrote for a new CD with Graham Nash, "Crosby-Nash," faults corporate leaders for bleeding companies of money and ripping off employees and investors.

On lyric says: "These people that they stole from whose lives they laid to waste/They should meet them all face to face/And explain just why their mama didn't teach them not to steal/If you want us to believe in justice, justice better be real."

Neither Enron nor Lay are mentioned by name, but Crosby told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Friday, "It's about Enron, no question. When I introduce it, I say it's about Enron."
