As I walk beneath the valley I shall fear no evil For thanks to King George and his rainbow cabinet Today murder is legal
God I know that it's wrong To kill my brother for what he hasn't done And as the planes blacken the sky It sounds like heaven is falling (heaven is falling) It sounds like heaven is falling You promised me a new day of dawning I see a thousand points of light Like so many points of hatred, shame, and horror
(ooh ooh oh) God I want to be a man (ooh ooh oh) But I don't want to die with a rifle in my hand And as the planes blacken the sky It sounds like heaven is falling (heaven is falling (ooh ooh oh)) It sounds like heaven is falling You promised me a new day of dawning Well nothing here looks new to me But a score of mothers’ sons Caught 'tween the devil and the deep blue sea
