I was listening to June Carter-Cash the day after Johnny's birthday. The same time goosebumps and tears overcame me as death scrawled across the news tickers. There's been a lot of war and a lot of money being made from it all. If only bullets, bombs, and bloodshed were nutritional.
They always got money for bombs
Excuses to never drop us a line
Wearing them old shiny golden watches
Spinning arms refuse to give us the time
Plenty of coins for counting the dead
No profit in the sick or health care
Piling up bullets same as used dollar bills
Taxed body bags earmarked for warfare
(WHISTLE)
Bloody streets glisten from broken diamonds
The sun reflecting off dog tags like echos of songs
Hands out for help - oh they never come
But they always got money for bombs
Excuses to never drop us a line
Wearing them old shiny golden watches
Spinning arms refuse to give us the time
Plenty of coins for counting the dead
No profit in the sick or health care
Piling up bullets same as used dollar bills
Taxed body bags earmarked for warfare
(WHISTLE)
Bloody streets glisten from broken diamonds
The sun reflecting off dog tags like echos of songs
Hands out for help - oh they never come
But they always got money for bombs
