Mynabirds (The)
Greatest Revenge
All along the avenues
The soldiers make their way While lovers reap the revenue
Of a cold September day Kiss me, darling kiss me
Like we'll never kiss again And love me, won't you love me
Like it's our greatest revenge No one knows how much it means
the pundit wars, rag magazines Battle fronts and beauty queens
Making love in the headlines I feel for all their progeny
How will they know what freedom means When it's forged to every cause and claim
On the fear assembly lines Oh the American machine
Oh the American sheep What happened to our chivalry
Now pork is fed to the fattest beasts
And the women and the babies
are starving on the ship And the waters coming in so fast
It's hard to know how long it we’ll last When you take in more than your give back
All you’ll drown under the debt Letras de cancionesOh the American greed
Oh the American greed
It’s not me I'm gonna give what I can Come, come feed the promise that’s inside of me
With a little love, we’ll raise a brand new army up
Of the surest doves with hearts
That gleam like golden guns
With nothing in their arsenal but love
I'd give it all for a legacy of love (Thanks to Deirdre for these lyrics)
