I'll come back from the war but everything I touch seems to break And I won't be the same man I won't be the same man you knew And I was somewhat tickled by your gauge of your tickertape parade Now you know and you know that I know We could dance all night here on their graves God bless our black souls
Cause the serpent still sleeps Cause the servant still eats The black guard is still some integral part of the ideas we keep And there was no desperate ache or pain As I sent my little babe to the drawer After all after all we can't all join hands and sing hallelujah When there's work to be done
Bring 'em back But don't stop now you're still ahead Don't get caught in pursuits like the rest Don't get smart now your need it you knew Back long before this twisted soul I'll be someone you'd rather not know I'll be something that stings to believe
It won't stop the war But don't stop now you're still ahead Don't get caught in conceits like your dead Don't get smart now you need it you knew Back long before this twisted soul I'll be something you'd rather not know I'll be something that stings to believe
