Eric Burdon Follow

We’ve all been dehumanized
A generation of the same old lies
Security is the alibi
We lose a day in the cycle of life

Evolution of your fellow man
Going around circles in the desert sand
We lose the loved ones protecting us

It’s just another day

Chorus:
On this memorial day
The hippies and the poets and the Spartans say
Forget the reasons why we war
This is the season we’ve been waiting for
Memorial day
It’s a rich man’s war but the poor will pay

Since the logic never comes to mind

Innocence is lost and guilt will fade in time
You turn around to face your death
You wish your mother could be there
To share your last breath

Another good one has gone down

And we mourn the lost

Chorus

Turn on your TV, watch a movie and lay back
Pollute your mind you’re next in line
Insanity is just a matter of time

Chorus

On memorial day
Be strong, let peace be the way
Break the cycle of hate and lies
Let the truth be realized
Memorial day...memorial day!
