(Echolette-Gold-Lloyd)
|
The crowd is looking drowned
|
And a mother in tears
|
There are flipflapping flags in the silence
|
And a national anthem's a blues in these days
|
Flag him down, rest in peace
|
What peace do you mean
|
When the boys are coming back
|
He's live on TV
|
He's dead as a hero can be
|
But he didn't die for nothing, my dear
|
The video of his death is travelling the world
|
Flag him down, rest in peace
|
What peace do you mean
|
When the boys are coming back
|
In coffins
|
Way back in the crowd
|
A girl says goodbye to a boy
|
To a boy who's parading to heaven
|
And she puts all the blame on the gouvernment
|
He's live on TV
|
Dead as a hero can be...when the boys are parading to heaven, my friend
|
But all the blame on you
|
On you
|
