How Long? |
| Gunther told me it would take one week |
| I knew for sure that he was lying |
| How long |
| Well I went to see my doctor |
| Only she was crying twice as much as me How long |
| They say suicide is painless |
| But I’d like to disagree |
| I’ve watched my country cut her veins |
| I’ve seen her civilized o.d. |
| And Thomas More he signals me With foreign wars and razor-blades |
| All I can say is how long |
| How long |
| Forgive me this intrusion |
| You’re my only consolation |
| As my people cry with me how long |
| I don’t mean to be exploitive |
| But my God I know you’re listening |
| And I know that you are crying here with me When the vicar shot the stranger |
| We assumed his good intentions |
| When the stranger shot |
| We pronounced him dead |
| There’s a part of me that’s empty |
| When the world has stopped it’s shaking |
| There’s a part of me that wants it all to end |
