The Defector |
It’s the Bonnie and Clyde days |
Where the girls wear curls and lace |
And the boys can’t stand the pace of war |
It’s not the war but the cause the country’s fighting for |
The seed of discontent is sown |
They’re burning card back home, back home |
The old folks just can’t ignore |
The posters with ink anymore |
I’m not sure what to think |
Now I wonder why I’m on this foreign shore |
To find peace of mind |
For now I walk alone |
Amd it’s no better to leave than stay |
And give more than I had to give |
My life was not my own the wife I’ve never known |
I may never know I may never go back home |
To the land of the free, back home |
To the land of the free back home |
Would there be a place for me back home back home? |
Well I always wonder why |
Will they take me when I die back home |
