The Body Electric |
Said you’re gonna shoot me down, put my body in the river |
Shoot me down, put my body in the river |
While the whole world sings, sing it like a song |
The whole world sings like there’s nothing going wrong |
He shot her down, he put her body in the river |
He covered her up, but I went to get her |
And I said, «My girl, what happened to you now?» |
I said, «My girl, we gotta stop it somehow» |
Oh, and tell me, what’s a man with a rifle in his hand |
Gonna do for a world that’s so sick and sad? |
Tell me, what’s a man with a rifle in his hand |
Gonna do for a world that’s so gone mad? |
He’s gonna shoot me down, put my body in the river |
Cover me up with the leaves of September |
Like an old sad song, you heard it all before |
Well, Delia’s gone, but I’m settling the score |
So tell me, what’s a man with a rifle in his hand |
Gonna do for a world that’s just dying slow? |
Tell me, what’s a man with a rifle in his hand |
Gonna do for his daughter when it’s her turn to go? |
