Letra de My Town

My town was fathered by orphans, praise God
Who came from across the sea
Time gave them plenty of nothing
So why they do wish more from me?
They speak to me of the factories
And tell me to take my place
But I'll stay here in the willow
Erasing the shame from my face
Have you seen Miss Delia, my God?
Seen her march with a flag that is tore?
Her gown once so blue is now faded
And she prays that we'll find a war
Yeah, she prays that we'll find a war
Once to the battle with reason
To vanquish the tyrant insane
The poison he preached has changed places
And my town has heroes again
Somewhere a bugle is blowing
And a drummer is moving the dust
I've broken my pencils and paper
While the church-bells go silent with rust
Have you seen Miss Delia, my God?
With her crowd down at town hall
Crying her eyes out for Johnny
Because he died over there for us all?
Yeah, he died over there for us all
