Marchin I hear marchin

Outside my window in the rain

I play checkers I'm sick of checkers

I'm sick of pain

Marchin I hear marchin

Outside my window in the rain

I play checkers I'm sick of checkers

I'm sick of pain I'm sick of pain

Mondays every Monday

Sees my hollow eyes

I liked Hank Williams

He died Hank Williams

I'm still alive I'm still alive

Blood red and blue

your flags on view

Ticker tape rains on Fifth Avenue

Some coloured kid

will shine your shoes

Some orphan screams

in a chow line queue

For the whitewash

and the tarbrush don't lie

Hey lucky you to

be born on the 4th of July

Callin storm warnins callin'

From Calvary to Bunker Hill

Pontius Pilate turned the tarot

And the reaper killed

and the reaper killed

Glory wave old glory

Sand Creek to Gettysburgh

From Andrew jackson

to Richard Nixon

For the brave new world

for the brave new world

It's last request for protest time

Some long haired kid

on the subway line

With a beaten guitar

and a lot of time

We shall overcome

well we never shall

It's flags on lapels

and faded decals

Max Yasga and puka shells

Dundarees and dying causes

Body bags and pregnant pauses

Dayglow poster of Joan Baez

Meditatiing datind yoga and E S T

Bells and flowers

and beads of incense

Well none of that nuts

makes any sense

For the whitwash

and the tarbrush don't lie

Hey lucky you to be born

on the 4th of July
