death to my hometown
Singer:bruce springsteen
no bombs fell from the sky
no blood soaked the ground
no powder flash blinded the eye
no deathly thunder sounded
but just as sure as the hand of god
they brought death to my hometown
they brought death to my hometown
no shells ripped the evening sky
no army stormed the shores for which we'd die
no dictators were crowned
the marauders raided in the dark
and brought death to my hometown
they brought death to my hometown
they destroyed our families
they left our bodies on the plains
the vultures picked our bones
for they'll be returning sure as the rising sun
now get yourself a song to sing
and sing it 'til you're done
sing it hard and sing it well
send the robber barons straight to hell
the greedy thieves who came around
and ate the flesh of everything they found
whose crimes have gone unpunished now
who walk the streets as free men now
they brought death to our hometown
