Intro :
O h no cannonb all did fly no rifles cut us down
N o bombs fell f rom the sky no blood soaked the ground
No p owder flash blind ed the eye no deathly thun der sound
But j ust as sure as the h and of God they brought death to my hometown
T hey brought d eath to m y hom etown boys
(2x)
N o shells ripped the e vening sky no cities burn ing down
No armies s tormed the shores for w hich we'd die no dictators w ere crowned
I awoke from a q uiet night I never hear d a sound
Mur derers raided i n the dark and brought death to my hometown boys
D eath to m y hom etown
They dest royed our families' factories a nd they took our homes
They l eft our bodies on the plains the v ultures picked our b ones
So l isten up my s onny boy be ready for when t hey come
F or they'll be ret urning sure as the ris ing sun
Now g et yourself a s ong to sing and sing it 'til you 're done
Yeah s ing it h ard and s ing it w ell
Send the r obber b arons s traight to h ell
The g reedy t hieves who c ame ar ound
And a te the f lesh of everyt hing they f ound
Whose c rimes have g one unp unished n ow
Who w alk the s treets as f ree men n ow
A h they brought d eath to o ur ho metown boys
D eath to o ur ho metown boys
D eath to o ur ho metown boys
D eath to o ur ho metown whoa!
