Banners

Lyrics

Sixteen thousand people were screaming
 Waving banners in front of their children
 Maybe someday we can repay them
 But not today
 It don't work that way
 Sixteen missiles aimed in your head
 Sixteen flowers for when your dead
 Maybe someday we can repay them
 But not today
 It don't work that way
 Merit badge, a credit card
 A lawn chair in your private yard
 These things we give to you
 With love and sweat
 A silent prayer, a golden dream
 A solid ground for everything
 These things we hope
 That you won't forget
 It don't work that way
 Sixteen thousand people were screaming
 Waving banners in front of their children
 Maybe someday we can repay them
 But not today
 It don't work that way
