Styx - Eddie Lyrics
Written by james youngLead vocals by james youngI woke up today, the papers spoke of a man we knowHes made of the stuff they say that first made our country growLiving in style, traveling to distant landsBetter hang tough, for now its time to make your standCan we ignore the basic facts of historyOr deny what people say is destinyI think the message is ever so loud and clearEddie, now dont you runYou know youre a bootleggers sonAnd you saw just what its done to the othersEddie, now dont you runIts the end of all your funAnd you saw just what theyve doneTo your brothersCan we ignore the basic facts of historyOr deny what people say is destinyFirst in the eighties but last of the sonsFirst in the eyes of his countrymenI think the message is ever so loud and clearEddie, now dont you runYou know youre a bootleggers sonAnd you saw just what its done to the othersEddie, now dont you runIts the end of all your funAnd you saw just what theyve doneTo your brothers
