about

They Marched Us Off

lyrics

I'd like to take a minute just a minute or two
I'd like to take a few minutes to talk to you about you
I got all the time in the world
Just talk to me, talk to me about you

I seen you cussin' the old folks
I seen you knockin' the flag down
You hate your mother and you hate your dad
You hate your freedom and you hate the fact that
you're sad
Well let me tell you something friend
Red water runs the deepest
Red water runs the deepest

Where I live there ain't a minute of peace
They burn the flag back home, wanna burn us in effigy
I been seein' them boys go down in the ground
While you were cryin' about your job
They marched us off

I'd give a million dollars just to wait in line
At the longest red light until the end of time
But the desert sun's callin' me, I got to go
Got to carry that cross today for everyone

It's not like I still don't disappoint you
In all the same ways, you're just used to it now
Don't think I think there ain't no better place for ya
A hundred million miles below

Where I live there ain't a minute of peace
They burn the flag back home, wanna burn us in effigy
I been seein' them boys go down in the ground
While you were cryin' about your job
They marched us off


No hell now sustain you now ever perplexing
And lawless many parasites, try to bring us down
Pathetic old rant, your right to say
Until I watched ya burn Glory
I watched ya burn Glory

Where I live there ain't a minute of peace
They burn the flag back home, wanna burn us in effigy
I been seein' them boys go down in the ground
While you were cryin' about your job
They marched us off

Lord, While you were cryin' about your job
They marched us off
While you were cryin' about your job
They marched us off

They Marched Us Off
They Marched Us Off
They Marched Us Off
They Marched Us Off

They Marched Us Off
They Marched Us Off
They Marched Us Off
They Marched Us Off
