Requiem For A Dying Song Lyrics

There's a government whip cracked across your back Where the order of the day is don't listen, attack See the blood run down in your bushwhack town Revolution is the gimmick of a joke less clown Where the body's just yelling for the tax man's gun
Talk, don't talk if you've nothing to say Walk, don't walk if your feet don't know the way
And requiem for a dying song With a shimmy and a shank from a futile war With the sun that lights the day Breaks the darkness and the powers of another great shame
With you my love, with you my love With you I will return And requiem for a dying song
Got the barrel by the face should the order release Should the bullet in your pocket turn away and retreat See the terror in the eye of a bloodshot child Only bubble in his belly and the promise of lies Operation, liberation, tell me, you can decide
Oh, talk, don't talk if you've nothing to say Walk, don't walk if your feet don't know the way
Requiem for a dying song With a shimmy and the shank from a futile war With the sun that lights the day Breaks the darkness and the powers of another great shame
But with you my love, with you my love With you I will return And requiem for a dying song
Agony from every corner on every street Act like he lost himself over bitterness Explode, explode
There's a government whip cracked across your back Where the order of the day is don't listen, attack
Oh, talk, don't talk if you've nothing to say Walk, don't walk if your feet don't know the way
Requiem for a dying song With a shimmy and the shank from a futile war With the sun that lights the day Breaks the darkness and the powers of another great shame
But with you my love, with you my love With you I will return And requiem for a dying song
With you my love With you I will return And requiem for a dying song
