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? |
