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 d**h 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
Put all the blame on you
On you
