|
And when the war was over |
|
I went dancing in the streets |
|
With the corpse of my dead brother |
|
To the sacrificial beat |
|
The Boy Scouts and the Legionnaires |
|
Came home from overseas |
|
Singing Glory Hallelujah! |
|
To the swank Gestapo beat |
|
Hallelujah, hallelujah |
|
I've never been |
|
In the whole of my life |
|
An intelligent sacrifice |
|
Hallelujah, hallelujah |
|
Give me a reason |
|
To go on believing |
|
And I'm ready |
|
To pay the price |
|
I heard of a plan |
|
In the president's mansion |
|
(High up in the sky) |
|
It called for a sacrifice |
|
And my brother paid the price |
|
Sent him home in a bag, |
|
The American flag |
|
Was draped around the box |
|
And the coffin lid was locked |
|
And the note said Thanks a lot |
|
Come and dance with me |
|
Come and dance with me |
|
I'm home from overseas |
|
I'm a corpse up to my knees |
|
Celebrate the victory |
|
Do you want to dance |
|
And hold me tight? |
|
I'm feeling most diseased |
|
And I need your company |
|
Come and dance |
|
Come and dance, come and dance |
|
I'm home from overseas |
|
And I need your company |
|
Celebrate the victory |
|
Would you like to dance |
|
And hold me tight? |
|
I'm feeling most diseased |
|
But I'm easier to please |
|
Come and dance, come and dance |
