the peppermint trolley company - fatal fallacy lyrics
when johnny comes marching home again
hurrah! hurrah!
we’ll give him a hearty welcome then
hurrah! hurrah!
the men will cheer and the boys will shout
the ladies they will all turn out
and we’ll all feel gay
when johnny comes marching home.
and where are your legs that used to run?
hurroo, hurroo
where are your legs that used to run?
hurroo, hurroo
where are your legs that used to run
when first you learn to carry a gun?
indeed your dancing days are done
johnny, i’d hardly know ya.
we talked of home and happiness
we talked of country and god bless
but only this i see the fatal fallacy of all
there’s the church in the city
golden cross looks so pretty
in the minister’s often sinister world
come with me and i’ll save you
let my servants enslave you
making servants of u2 nation and god
we talked of home and happiness
we talked of country and god bless
but only this i see the fatal fallacy of all
there’s a man with a helmet over there
he can kill if he wants and no one cares
after all that is what a soldier’s for
(and you know that’s what he’s for)
there’s no doubt in his mind, this cause is just
’til we stay he can place in god his trust
but then no time for prayer in time of war, of war
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
we talked of home and happiness
(oh, there was another so many woodlot)
we talked of country and god bless
(oh, i can hear the children cry)
but only this i see (this i see) the fatal fallacy of all
la da da, la da da, la da da, la da da
la da da, la da da, la da da, la da da, hey!
i can dream of a time (i can dream of a time)
when i wake up at 9:00, that the battle has won
that the feeling is gone
but the feeling remains (but the feeling remains)
and we set down in chains until hatred is gone
until justice is done
but it’s a feeling in every one of us
and it’ll be there into that twist of time
and i can see that the man who learns to hate
and i can see that has mostly aside to fate
and i can see that man who was trying to hide
and if the feeling is there, it feeds the time
and though i cannot afford all this fallacy
’til i can see it in you, and i can see it in me
we talked of home and happiness
we talked of country and god bless
but only this i see the fatal fallacy of all
we talked of home and happiness
we talked of country and god bless
but only this i see the fatal fallacy of all, of all, of all
do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do (do do do)
do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do (do do do)
da da da da da da da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da da da da da
