Summer death, slow step
|
Walk behind the mother of the thirteen year old brown-eyed boy
|
Attitudes, attitudes
|
Sloganized by middle boots
|
The men who slogged the brown-eyed boy
|
|
And it's the end of everything that you've been told about
|
Decency, honesty
|
And it's the end of holding back and breaking bones and building bombs
|
And hanging witch-hunts conducted by men of such opinion
|
|
Repeat first verse
|
|
And it's the end of building roads to load the dead to someone else's field
|
And it's the end of falling back on breaking backs and aching handshakes
|
And playing fields conducted by men of such opinion
|
|
But the fathers crossed you boys
|
I fire so heaven knows it only righteous folk
|
But righteous taste hold the keys to sitting grace
|
To conduct and to proclaim decisions made of such opinions
|
|
And it's the time of summer days
|
When children sing about the killing fields
|
Winter melts the snow and knees will crack on rock
|
And the iron on earth beneath the dearth bequeathed
|
Mailshots by men of such opinion
|
