Patti Smith - Gung Ho Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • On a field of red one gold star
  • Raised above his head
  • Raised above his head
  • He was not like any other
  • He was just like any other
  • And the song they bled
  • Was a hymn to him
  • Awake my little one
  • The seed of revolution
  • Sewn in the sleeve
  • Of cloth humbly worn
  • Where others are adorned
  • Above the northern plain
  • The great birds fly
  • With great wings
  • Over the paddy fields
  • And the people kneel
  • And the men they toil
  • Yet not for their own
  • And the children are hungry
  • And the wheel groans
  • There before a grass hut
  • A young boy stood
  • His mother lay dead
  • His sisters cried for bread
  • And within his young heart
  • The seed of revolution sewn
  • In cloth humbly worn
  • While others are adorned
  • And he grew into a man
  • Not like any other
  • Just like any other
  • One small man
  • A beard the color of rice
  • A face the color of tea
  • Who shared the misery
  • Of other men in chains
  • With shackles on his feet
  • Escaped the guillotine
  • Who fought against
  • Colonialism imperialism
  • Who remained awake
  • While others slept
  • Who penned like jefferson
  • Let independence ring
  • And the cart of justice turns
  • Slow and bitterly
  • And the people were crying
  • Plant that seed that seed
  • And they crawled on their bellies
  • Beneath the giant beast
  • And filled the carts with bodies
  • Where once had been their crops
  • And the great birds swarm
  • Spread their wings overhead
  • And his mother dead
  • And the typhoons and the rain
  • The jungles in flames
  • And the orange sun
  • None could be more beautiful
  • Than vietnam
  • Nothing was more beautiful
  • Than vietnam
  • And his heart stopped beating
  • And the wheel kept turning
  • And the words he bled
  • Were a hymn to them
  • I have served the whole people
  • I have served my whole country
  • And as I leave this world
  • May you suffer union
  • And my great affection
  • Limitless as sky
  • Filled with golden stars
  • The question is raised
  • Raised above his head
  • Was he of his word
  • Was he a good man
  • For his image fills the southern heart
  • With none but bitterness
  • And the people keep crying
  • And the men keep dying
  • And its so beautiful
  • So beautiful
  • Give me one more turn
  • Give me one more turn
  • One more turn of the wheel
  • One more revolution
  • One more turn of the wheel
