Call To Arms
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
he drives a 90,000 dollar jaguar to work everyday
he put his wife and kids in the zoo, cuz he had nothing left to do
nothing left to do.
oh, Boo- hoo-hoo, Boo-hoo-hoo
He bought a ticket for heaven, but it expired in june
the gun went off, but it was never on
the trigger to the finger, the finger to the trigger
one eye took the aim, just behind the man's brain
but who is to blame? I just think he's plain jane
plain, plain jane
when i awoke, my head was up off the ground
nature spinning, oh but she's makin' no sound
blessed she tells us all that she knows
yeah let the people live
let the riches flow
i found, well i found you at the fault
and it didn't mean, nothin' at all
you keep your money in stocks at the county garbage dump
you spend your days on tar, at the local gas pump
you came in on your own and you'll leave all alone
you came in on your own, and you'll leave all alone
as a start we off'd go down the path
of feilds of gold, a vision that soon will pass
a great mistake, the diamond on his face
black as night, where the coral snake will strike
but i found, well i found, you at the fall
and it didn't mean, nothin' at all
[hidden track]
Yesterday I got a letter
from my friend
fighting in Iraq
and this is what he had to say:
'tell all my friends
that I'll be coming home soon
my time 'll be up some time in june.
oh oh
oh oh oh
Don't forget' he said to tell
my sweet lands in
how it drive nine"
sweetest funny
and he is fighting in Iraq
he is fighting in Iraq
he is fighting in Iraq, whore
what for
well it was just a next day
he 's mother got an telegram
it was addressed from Iraq
oh oh
Now mistress Brown she lives in the U.S.A
and this is
what she wrote and said:
'Don't be alarmed, Mrs Brown'
the telegram read
that you're son is dead , oh you're son is dead
and he is fighting in Iraq
he is fighting in Iraq
in the Iraq, whore
he is fighting in Iraq
in the Iraq, whore
somebody stop that war, please somebody stop this war
somebody stop that war now, please stop that war
