King Henry
King Henry marched forth, a sword in his hand Two thousand horsemen all at his command In a fortnight the rivers ran red through the land The year fifteen hundred and twenty
The year it is now nineteen sixty five It's easier far to stay half alive Just keep your mouth shut while the planes zoom and dive Ten thousand miles over the ocean
Simon was drafted in sixty three In sixty four, sent over the sea Last month this letter he sent to me He said, 'You won't like what I'm saying'
He said, 'We've no friends here, no hardly a one We've got a few generals who just want our guns But it will take more than that if we're ever to win Why, we'll have to flatten the country'
'It's my own troops I have to watch out for,' he said 'I sleep with a pistol right under my head' He wrote this last month, last week he was dead 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网 And Simon came home in a casket
I mind my own business, I watch my TV Complain about taxes but pay anyway In a civilized manner my forefathers betray Who long ago struggled for freedom
But each day a new headline screams at my bluff On TV some general says we must be tough In my dreams I stare at this family I love All gutted and spattered with napalm
King Henry marched forth, a sword in his hand Two thousand horsemen all at his command In a fortnight the rivers ran red through the land The year fifteen hundred and twenty
The year it is now nineteen sixty five It's easier far to stay half alive Just keep your mouth shut while the planes zoom and dive Ten thousand miles over the ocean
