Disc of sun in the belching smoke,
Blazing huts where children choke,
Burning flesh and blackened blood,
Charred and blistered like smould'ring wood.
Oh brother,oh brother did you weep?
Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep?
Wall-eyed moon in the wounded night
Touching poisoned fields with blight,
Showing a ditch where a died girls lies
Courted by ants and hungry flies.
Oh brother,oh brother did you weep?
Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep?
Scream of pain on the morning breeze
Thunder of bombs in the grove of trees,
hymn of rubble and powdered stone,
Anguished flesh and splintered bone.
Oh brother,oh brother did yoou weep?
Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep?
Programmed war,efficiency team,
Punch cards fed to thinking machines:
Computer death and the Murder Plan,
Total destruction of Vietnam.
Oh brother,oh brother did you weep?
Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep?
Blazing huts where children choke,
Burning flesh and blackened blood,
Charred and blistered like smould'ring wood.
Oh brother,oh brother did you weep?
Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep?
Wall-eyed moon in the wounded night
Touching poisoned fields with blight,
Showing a ditch where a died girls lies
Courted by ants and hungry flies.
Oh brother,oh brother did you weep?
Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep?
Scream of pain on the morning breeze
Thunder of bombs in the grove of trees,
hymn of rubble and powdered stone,
Anguished flesh and splintered bone.
Oh brother,oh brother did yoou weep?
Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep?
Programmed war,efficiency team,
Punch cards fed to thinking machines:
Computer death and the Murder Plan,
Total destruction of Vietnam.
Oh brother,oh brother did you weep?
Oh brother,oh brother can you sleep?
