The Wall 歌词

Cigarettes and a bottle of beer This poem that I wrote for you This black stone and these hard tears They are all I got left now of you I remember you in your Marine uniform laughing Laughing at your shipping out party I read Robert McNamara says he’s sorry Yeah you and your boots and black t-shirt Ah, Billy you looked so bad Yeah you and your rock and roll band Was the best thing this shit town ever had Now the men that put you here Eat with their families in rich dining halls And apology and forgiveness got no place here at all Here at the wall Well I’m sorry that I missed you last year I couldn’t find no one to drive me If your eyes could cut through that black stone Tell me would they recognize me For the living time that must be served, life goes on Cigarettes and a bottle of beer And skin on a black stone High school pictures and paper flowers And these ribbons are red as the blood As the blood you spilled in the Central Highlands mud Now limousines rush down Pennsylvania Avenue As the rain falls Apology and forgiveness got no place here at all
