The Flaming Lips - Handsome Johnny lyrics

[The Flaming Lips - Handsome Johnny lyrics]

Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see
Marching to the fields of Concord?
Looks like Handsome Johnny with a
Musket in his hand
Marching to the Concord war
Hey marching to the Concord war

Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see
Marching to the fields of Gettysburg?
Looks like Handsome Johnny with a
Flintlock in his hand
Marching to the Gettysburg war
Hey marching to the Gettysburg war

Hey, it's a long hard road
It's a long hard road it's a long hard road
Hey before we'll be free
Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
Marching to the fields of Dunkirk?
Looks like Handsome Johnny with a
Carbine in his hand


Marching to the Dunkirk war
Hey marching to the Dunkirk war

Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
Marching to the fields of Korea?
Looks like Handsome Johnny with an
M1 in his hand marching to the Korean war
Hey marching to the Korean war

Hey, it's a long hard road
It's a long hard road it's a long hard road
Hey before we'll be free
Hey, before we'll be free

Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
Marching to the fields of Vietnam?
Looks like Handsome Johnny with an M15
Marching to the Vietnam war
Hey marching to the Vietnam war

Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
Marching to the fields of Birmingham?
Looks like Handsome Johnny with his
Hand rolled in a fist
Marching to the Birmingham war
Hey marching to the Birmingham war

Hey, what's the use of singing this song
Some of you are not even listening
Tell me what it is we've got to do
Wait for our fields to start glistening
Hey, wait for the bullets to start whistling

Hey, here comes a hydrogen bomb and
Here comes a guided missile
Here comes a hydrogen bomb
I can almost hear it's whistle
I can almost hear it's whistle
