With the sun that lights the day
With you I will return
With a shimmy and the shank from a futile war
Requiem for a dying song
Oh, talk, don't talk if you've nothing to say
Operation, liberation, tell me, you can decide
Breaks the darkness and the powers of another great shame
And requiem for a dying song
Where the body's just yelling for the tax man's gun
Walk, don't walk if your feet don't know the way
Got the barrel by the face should the order release
There's a government whip cracked across your back
But with you my love, with you my love
Breaks the darkness and the powers of another great shame
Act like he lost himself over bitterness
With you my love
Walk, don't walk if your feet don't know the way
With you my love, with you my love
With the sun that lights the day
Should the bullet in your pocket turn away and retreat
With a shimmy and a shank from a futile war
Requiem for a dying song
But with you my love, with you my love
With the sun that lights the day
And requiem for a dying song
With you I will return
Oh, talk, don't talk if you've nothing to say
Revolution is the gimmick of a joke less clown
See the blood run down in your bushwhack town
With a shimmy and the shank from a futile war
Agony from every corner on every street
And requiem for a dying song
Talk, don't talk if you've nothing to say
And requiem for a dying song
Breaks the darkness and the powers of another great shame
With you I will return
And requiem for a dying song
Explode, explode
Where the order of the day is don't listen, attack
Walk, don't walk if your feet don't know the way
Only bubble in his belly and the promise of lies
See the terror in the eye of a bloodshot child
With you I will return
