Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Bruce Springsteen - Death to my hometown ------------------------------------------ Well, no cannon ball did fly,/no rifles cut us down. No bombs fell from the sky,/no blood soaked the ground. No powder flash blinded the eye/no deathly thunder sounded. But just as sure as the hand of God They brought death to my hometown(2X) Now, no shells ripped / the evening sky No cities burning down / no Army stormed the shores for which we?d die / no dictators were crowned. I awoke on a quiet night, / I never heard a sound. The marauders raided in the bank and brought death to my hometown boys/they brought..(2X) They destroyed ourfamilies,factories/& they took ourhomes, they left our bodies on the plains, the vultures picked our bones. So, listen up my sonny boy,/be ready when they come. For they?ll be returning / sure as the rising sun. Now get yourself a son to sing /and sing it ?til you?re done. Sing it hard and sing it well Send the robber barons straight to hell The greedy thieves who came around and ate the flesh of everything they found, whose crimes have gone unpunished now who walk the streets as free men now. They brought deat to our hometown, boys Death to our hometown(2X),boys. Deat to our hometown.
