Communist Daughter - Fortunate Son lyrics

Do you remember the airplane? That circled overhead like all the vultures did When we were younger Our bodies shook, while we were under The family tree Do you remember when the news came? And all the looks that stayed the same And the box of letters with broken hinges Dirty mouths and red syringes And everything The martyr's life is not the life you chose Fortunate son you have only one choice Heart betrayed by the voices of the past Forget but don't forgive yourself 'Cause you will never be resolved With the pa**ing of the fault So you cover all the family fields The gravestones still remain. (gravestones remain)... Do you remember when you had no voice? You mother left you with no more choice Cause you couldn't laugh, you couldn't cry, you couldn't love you couldn't die For the God above Do you recall the sumer dance where all those girls would hold your hand? And the bomber jacket you wouldn't wear Your brother left you with little care for anyone The martyr's life is not the life he chose Fortunate son trade your house for a gun But the house holds the life your brother lost Forget but don't forgive yourself Cause you will never be resolved With the pa**ing of the fault So cover of the family fields The gravestones still remain That's where your brother remains The hero in the family grave Your only burden Is your shame to know your sacrifice gave your son the honor of a family name.
