The human drum Beats a rhythm of life The clothes he wears Takes back to the war You talk a lot Often to yourself She don't say much He cuts his hair She can't remember Before the heat He can't remember His wife's Christian name Paint me your picture Towers in sand America can fall Today I died again I died again I died today Today I died again I died again I died today Back to a year Back to a youth Of men in church And drug cabarets Is this the age Of empires and dance? Oh, what a world Oh, what a world She can't remember Before this heat He can't remember His wife's Christian name Paint me your picture Bodies in sand Presidents can fall Today I died again I died again I died today Today I died again I died again I died today
