Memorial Day - Eric Burdon

Written by：Eric BurdonTerry WilsonTony Braunagel

We've all been

Dehumanized

A generation of

The same old lies

Security is the alibi

We lose a day in the

Cycle of life

Evolution of your

Fellow man

Going around circles

In the desert sand

We lose the loved

Ones protecting us

It's just another day

On this memorial day

The hippies and the poets

And the spartans say

Forget the reasons why we war

This is the season

We've been waiting for

Memorial day

It's a rich man's war

But the poor will pay

Since the logic never

Comes to mind

Innocence is lost and

Guilt will fade in time

You turn around to

Face your death

You wish your mother

Could be there

To share your

Last breath

Another good one

Has gone down

And we mourn the lost

On this memorial day

The hippies and the poets

And the spartans say

Forget the reasons why we war

This is the season

We've been waiting for

Memorial day

It's a rich man's war

But the poor will pay

Since the logic never

Comes to mind

Innocence is lost and

Guilt will fade in time

Turn on your tv watch

A movie and lay back

Pollute your mind you're next in line

Insanity is just a matter of time

On this memorial day

The hippies and the poets

And the spartans say

Forget the reasons why we war

This is the season

We've been waiting for

Memorial day

It's a rich man's war

But the poor will pay

Since the logic never

Comes to mind

Innocence is lost and

Guilt will fade in time

On memorial day

Be strong let peace

Be the way

Break the cycle of hate and lies

Let the truth be realized

Memorial day

Memorial day
