Bruce Springsteen - Death to My Hometown Lyrics
No bombs fell from the sky, no blood soaked the groundNo powder flash blinded the eye, no deathly thunder soundedBut just as sure as the hand of God, they brought death to my hometownThey brought death to my hometown, boysNo shells ripped the evening sky, no cities burning downNo army stormed the shores for which we'd die, no dictators were crownedI awoke from a quiet night, I never heard a soundThe marauders raided in the dark and brought death to my hometown, boysDeath to my hometownThey destroyed our families, factories, and they took our homesThey left our bodies on the plains, the vultures picked our bonesSo listen up, my sonny boy, be ready for when they comeFor they'll be returning sure as the rising sunNow get yourself a song to sing and sing it 'til you're doneYeah, sing it hard and sing it wellSend the robber barons straight to hellThe greedy thieves who came aroundAnd ate the flesh of everything they foundWhose crimes have gone unpunished nowWho walk the streets as free men nowAh, they brought death to our hometown, boysDeath to our hometown, boysDeath to our hometown, boysDeath to our hometown, whoa!
