D
Dm
I'll sing you a song
of a man
C
Dm
who lived not very far from here
He was born at the end
of the Second War,
if you'll give or take a year
His face is known to all of you,
C
Dm
but his name I can't divulge
D
So consider him a unit of
C
Dm
the population boss
D
Dm
He grew out of the settling dust
C
Dm
when the bombs had ceased to fall
He played upon the graves
F
Dm
and never realized at all
To resurrect a nation,
C
Dm
people sweated and they sinned
But a limbless man on paper legs

Out from the womb of eternal peace

into the stranger's bed
To rid himself of the reason

Dm
and pick the pieces from the ground
The ideals of our promised land
C
Dm
were trampled to the ground
And in their place
the weeds of power
F
Dm
and wealth were to be found
But the image of the Patriots
C
Dm
still swells the hearts of men
For the freedom to destroy ourselves

with the age of the spoon -fed mind

came to edify the blind
Dm
They rebelled into conformity
C
in a modified disguise
Dm
And now he walks the path
C

of a man he once himself despised

A vision of his loneliness
D

reflected in his eyes
