Dead Presidents Lyrics

Will the circle be unbroken, bye and bye Lord, bye and bye

There's a better home a-waiting in the sky Lord in the sky

Chopper dropped him in the jungle, turned his young man's heart coal black

He crawled down Viet Cong tunnels. Knew he was never coming back

Generals strafed their men on the hillsides, destroyed what they'd never win

Maneuvers led by dead presidents drenched in the seven deadly sins

Will the circle be unbroken, bye and bye Lord, bye and bye

There's a better home a-waiting in the sky Lord in the sky

He rode past that rusty Ford plant, there's boards across them doors

Iron bars on broken windows – no one buys American no more

They said union wages broke Ford's back here, gasoline lines upped the score

Competition drove the nail in, and ol' Henry Ford crossed the Texas border

Will the circle be unbroken, bye and bye Lord, bye and bye

There's a better home a-waiting in the sky Lord in the sky

Had a shop out on Town Line, had eight guys never let me down

But the market showed a correction, and them bankers come to buy me out

Last time I crawled through scrap yards, climbed up from the dead and gone

This time I keep on pushing but I won't believe them lowdown bankers won

Will the circle be unbroken, bye and bye Lord, bye and bye

There's a better home a-waiting in the sky Lord in the sky

Well the Generals and the Captains and corporations bled this land

Main Street gunners hide in foxholes – ain't no rescue planes gonna land

This time I thought they'd remember history red with our blood

Nothing's sacred but them eagles and they squeeze 'em mighty good

Will the circle be unbroken, bye and bye Lord, bye and bye

There's a better home a-waiting in the sky Lord in the sky

There's a better home a-waiting in the sky Lord in the sky
