Country Joe & The Fish - An Untitled Protest Lyrics
Red and swollen tears tumble from her eyesWhile cold silver birds who came to cruise the skiesSend death down to bend and twist her tiny handsAnd then proceed to target "B" in keeping with their plansKhaki priests of Christendom interpreters of loveRide a stone Leviathan across a sea of bloodAnd pound their feet into the sand of shores they've never seenDelegates from the western land to join the death machineAnd we send cards and letters.The oxen lie beside the road their bodies baked in mudAnd fat flies chew out their eyes then bathe themselves in bloodAnd super heroes fill the skies, tally sheets in handYes, keeping score in times of war takes a supermanThe junk crawls past hidden death it's cargo shakes insideAnd soldier children hold their breath and kill them as they hideAnd those who took so long to learn the subtle ways of deathLie and bleed in paddy mud with questions on their breathAnd we send prayers and praises.
