Kill the Messenger - John Wesley Harding

作词：W. Stace

The messenger came with bad news from the front

Said the soldiers are starving and their swords are all blunt

They need a show of support or some futile sign

That's what they told me to tell you not even the words are mine

Let's beginning with bad news from the war

We said the fine young men forgot they were fighting for

They don't wanna be stars on your TV screen

That's the general feeling please don't blame it on me

And the people said one and one is two

There's nothing left for us to do

Since we can blame it all on you

We will kill the messenger

Kill messenger kill the messenger we kill the messenger

The messenger came with bad news from the town

We said the phone lines are on strik doormen are all down

You've turned your den thieves into temple

They need someone of stature to set them an example

And people said two and two is four

Don't tell us anymore

We all know the score

Kill kill the messenger kill the messenger kill the messenger

Kill the messenger

Someone brought the news to the messengers folks

He said your sons been killed two times

They said is that a joke

He said no

He was he victim of ignorant minds

I hate to bring such bad news please don't think me unkind

And the family said one and one is two

There's later left for us to do

Since you're here we can blame it on you

We will kill the messenger

Kill the messenger kill the messenger

We will kill the messenger

Kill the messenger kill the messenger kill the messenger

So if you want to send a message
