Skrewdriver - Prisoner Of Peace Lyrics
He stuck up for his country, but he didn't like the costThe European brother war, and lives were being lostHe saw the grieving mothers whose sons could not be foundHe wanted peace to stop the endless coffins on the groundHe got up on one morning and he went out to his planeHe said good-bye to his wife, but doubts were in his brainTo sue for peace was his idea in 1941But the bankers' grip was oh so tight, and the chance for peace was goneChorus:Free Rudolf HessHow long can they keep him there? We can only guessI said free Rudolf HessHow long can they keep him there? We can only guessHe never realized that day that chivalry had diedBritain was in alien hands but at least a man had triedForty years is a long long time in a prison cell to beAnd I feel ashamed at the sentence passed on a man who wanted peace(Repeat Chorus)And now the situation has changed in many waysThe Allies want to let him go, they've decided he has paidThe Red scum in the Kremlin with their kosher values tryTo keep a proud man locked away until the day he dies(Repeat Chorus)He's a prisoner of peaceKept there at the will of the Marxists in the eastHe's a prisoner of peaceKept there at the wishes of the Marxists in the east
