And when the war was over I went dancing in the streets With the corpse of my dead brother To the sacrificial beat The Boy Scouts and the Legionnaires Came home from overseas Singing: Glory Hallelujah! To the swank Gestapo beat
Hallelujah, hallelujah I've never seen in the whole of my life An intelligent sacrifice Hallelujah, hallelujah Give me a reason to go on believing And I'm ready to pay the price
I heard of a plan In the president's mansion High up in the sky It called for a sacrifice And my brother paid the price Sent him home in a bag The American flag Was draped around the box And the coffin lid was locked And the note said: Thanks a lot
Come and dance with me Come and dance with me I'm home from overseas I'm a corpse up to my knees Celebrate the victory Do you want to dance and hold me tight? I'm feeling most diseased And I need your company Come and dance Come and dance
Come and dance Come and dance I'm home from overseas And I need your company Celebrate the victory Would you like to dance and hold me tight? I'm feeling most diseased But I'm easier to please Come and dance Come and dance
