Janis Ian - Boy, I Really Tied One On Lyrics

Font:

Align:

And when the war was over

I went dancing in the streets

with the corpse of my dead brother

to the sacrificial beat

the Boy Scouts and the Legionnaires

come home from overseas

singing Glory Hallelujah!

to the swank Gestapo beat

Hallelujah

I've never been

In the whole of my life

an intelligent sacrifice

Hallelujah

Give me a reason

to go on believing

and I'm ready

to pay the price

I heard of a plan

in the president's mansion

(high up in the sky)

It called for a sacrifice

and my brother paid the price

Sent him home in a bag,

Tha American flag

was draped around the box

The coffin lid was locked

The note said Thanks a lot

Some and dance with me

I'm home from overseas

I'm a corpse up to my knees

Celebrate the victory

Do you want to dance

and hold me tight?

I'm feeling most diseased

but I'm easier to please

Come and dance
