|
The crowd is looking drowned and a mother in tears |
|
There are flip-flapping flags in the silence |
|
And a national anthem's a blues in these days |
|
Flag him down, rest in peace |
|
What peace do you mean when the boys are coming back |
|
The boys are coming back |
|
When the boys are coming back in coffins |
|
He's live on TV |
|
He's dead as a hero can be |
|
But... he didn't die for nothing, my dear |
|
The video of his death is travelling the world |
|
Flag him down, rest in peace |
|
What peace do you mean when the boys are coming back |
|
The boys are coming back |
|
When the boys are coming back in coffins |
|
Way back in the crowd |
|
A girl says goodbye to a boy |
|
To a boy who's parading to heaven |
|
And she puts all the blame on the government |
|
Flag him down, rest in peace |
|
What peace do you mean when the boys are coming back |
|
The boys are coming back |
|
When the boys are coming back in coffins |
